BELGIUM: RAS Opontoise (1942-2017)

Rue de la Scierie, Opont (formerly R Aurore Sportive Opontoise)

Belgium, province: Luxembourg = Luxemburg

6 V 2016 / RAS Opontoise - RUS Rossart 4-0 / Belgian Luxembourg, Provincial League 3C (= BE level 7)

Note 1: Aurore Sportive Opontoise, founded in 1942 (matricule 3539), was the successor of an earlier club from Opont with matricule 1442. The club obtained the royal epithet in 1992, thus becoming Royale Aurore Sportive Opontoise. Sadly, RAS Opont ceased all activities after the 2016-17 season. Subsequently, FC Paliseulois were thinking of taking over the premises for lower team football and training purposes, but those plans never materialised - mainly because this club disposes of two grounds themselves, Place des Battys and Plaine de l'Arsenal. Since, the ground in Opont has been left to its own devices.
