BELGIUM: RRC Péruwelz (1922-2010) / Péruwelz FC (2010-)

Stade de la Verte Chasse, Péruwelz (Péruwelz FC, formerly R Racing Club Péruwelz)

Belgium, province: Hainaut = Henegouwen

31 I 2010 / RRC Péruwelz - Excelsior Veldwezelt 1-0 / National Division 3B (= BE level 3)
12 V 2019 / Péruwelz FC - RAS Monceau 0-2 / Hainaut, Provincial League 1 - promotion play-off (= BE level 6)

Note 1: RRC Péruwelz (matricule 216) played at the Stade de la Verte Chasse from the club's foundation in 1922 onwards. In 1928, a small wooden stand was constructed, which lasted for 85 years - making it one of the oldest pieces of football furniture in Belgium. It was finally knocked down on October 9th, 2013 to make way for a much bigger replacement - with 350 seats and a clubhouse -, which was inaugurated in the course of 2014. Meanwhile, in the course of the 2009/2010 season, when R Excelsior Mouscron went into administration (December 2009), RRC Péruwelz (at that time playing in National Division 3) moved their first team away from their own tiny ground, instead finishing the season at Mouscron's stadium, Le Canonnier. In 2010, a new name was chosen: R Mouscron-Péruwelz - giving the town of Mouscron a new football club, who later got rid of the second half of their name altogether and have continued life as Excel Mouscron until today. That same summer, a new club was founded in Péruwelz itself: Péruwelz FC (matricule 9540), which had to start at the bottom of the league pyramid, in Hainaut's Provincial League 4.
