Timeline

• 1934 / Foundation of a football club in Grand-Reng, a village situated right on the Belgian border with France in the Province of Hainaut. The new club takes on the name Association Sportive (AS) Grand-Reng, acquiring registration number 2149 upon being accepted into the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB). It is unclear where the pitch of this club was situated.
• 1935 / After one year of competing in the reserves’ divisions, AS Grand-Reng was placed in Hainaut’s Regional League 3 for the 1935-36 season.
• 1936 / Finishing bottom of the table in Hainaut’s Regional League 3C, AS Grand-Reng withdraws its first team – and probably ceases activities altogether.
• 1937 / One year after the withdrawal from first team football, the registration number of AS Grand-Reng is struck from the membership list of the Belgian FA.
• 1944 / Immediately after the end of the German occupation of Belgium, a new football club sees the daylight in Grand-Reng, Union Sportive (US) de Grand-Reng. The new club acquires membership of the Belgian FA under registration number 4209, settling on a pitch laid on a plot of farmland somewhere between the southern outskirts of the village and the French border – probably in the area situated between Rue Vent de Bise and Rue Paul Pastur.
• 1945 / For its first season as a competitive club, US Grand-Reng is placed in Hainaut’s Regional League 3.
• 1948 / In spite of being runaway champions in Hainaut’s Regional League 3C, US Grand-Reng – probably voluntarily – did not win promotion to Regional League 2, with numbers two and three CS L’Elan Fayt-lez-Manage and US Bray, who finished 7 and 9 points behind them, taking their place.
• 1949 / Champions in Hainaut’s Regional League 3 (this time in 3E) for the second year running, finishing 2 points ahead of closest rivals Racing FC Gozéen, US Grand-Reng yet again does not win promotion – yet again, probably for financial reasons, unwilling to travel the longer distances involved in Regional League 2 football.

• ± 1961 / Gaston Juste, the mayor of Grand-Reng – also a former resistance fighter and a member of the Belgian Parliament for the Socialist Party – has a football pitch laid out in the village, at Rue Joseph Wauters. However, due to US Grand-Reng’s board being made up of locals with connections to the Roman Catholic party PSC (Parti Social Chrétien), the club refused to move into the newly laid-out ground, which bears the name of Juste himself.
• ± 1970 / US Grand-Reng gives in to the pleas of local authorities and mayor Gaston Juste, moving into the Stade Gaston Juste at Rue Joseph Wauters some ten years after it was laid out.

• 2004 / Finishing in fourth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4C, RUS Grand-Reng goes on to win the promotion play-offs, thus acceding to Provincial League 3 along with champions FC Ronquières-Hy 86.
• 2005 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3C, RUS Grand-Reng drops back into Provincial League 4 after just one season, along with bottom club FC Charleroi (matr. 9444).

• 2016 / Finishing in third-last place place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2C, RUS Grand-Reng has to play a set of relegation play-offs against the clubs who finished in that same position in the two other P2 series, FC Brunehaut and FC Havré, but the play-off is broken off halfway through due to no extra relegation places being on the cards.
• 2017 / Finishing bottom of the table in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2C, RUS Grand-Reng drops back into Provincial League 3 after three years, along with the club in second-last place, FC Nalinnois.

BELGIUM: SC Iberia (1964-1982) / UD Iberia (1982-1990) / Athletico Iberia Deportivo (1990-2006) / UCE Liège (B) (2006-)

Plaine des Manoeuvres terr. 2 "Iberia", Liège = Luik Grivegnée (B pitch of UCE Liège)

Belgium, province: Liège = Luik

16 VIII 2026 / UCE Liège Reserves - R Elan Dalhem Reserves 5-2 / Pre-season friendly

Timeline

• 1930 / The Liège International Exposition is held on the military training grounds in the northern neighbourhood of Bressoux. The army has to move away from this area, settling in the Bois-de-Breux neighbourhood in Grivegnée, to the east of the city-centre, on a plain referred to locally as Les Sarts. The location is known alternatively as Terrain de Robermont and, following the arrival of the soldiers, as Plaine des Manoeuvres.
• 1944 / Following the liberation of Belgium from the German yoke in October 1944, an American field hospital is set up on the Plaine des Manoeuvres. 
• 1945 / After the end of World War II and the departure of the American army, the Belgian armed forces gradually leave their barracks in the centres of the large cities in the country, instead settling newly built facilities in rural areas, mainly near the borders of the country.  
• ± 1950 / On the former military training ground in Bois-de-Breux, three football pitches are laid out, which are rented to local recreational clubs. The original club playing on pitch 1 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres was a corporate team known as Le Perron. Pitch 3 is later taken in use by a Spanish recreational club called Sevilla – but there must have been many other teams playing their football on the pitches of the Terrain de Robermont in the following years.
• 1964 / A new recreational club of Spanish immigrant workers in Liège sees the daylight, Sporting Club (SC) Iberia, which almost certainly settled on pitch 2 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres / Terrain de Robermont that same year. Most probably also in 1964, another Spanish club, US Española, which had been founded seven years previously, settled on pitch 1 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres, joining the official Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB) under a slightly adapted name, Unión Deportiva (UD) Española, acquiring registration number 6725 upon being accepted as a member club.
• 1975 / Foundation of a football club of Spanish immigrant workers in Liège; the new club, FC Deportivo Liège, does not apply for membership of the Belgian FA, though, instead preferring allegiance to recreational football. According to one (reliable) source, FC Deportivo played its football on a pitch not in Liège proper, but in Retinne – it is unclear if this was the Stade Pierre Cremers or another pitch in the same locality.
• 1976 / After twelve years in recreational football, SC Iberia joins the Belgian FA, being accepted as a new member club with registration number 8474. Earlier that same year, yet another Spanish immigrant workers’ football club was formed, Athletico Español de Liège, which joins the Belgian FA straightaway under number 8422. According to one source, Athletico’s pitch was situated in the Cointe neighbourhood, according to another at the Rue Sainte-Marguerite in the eponymous Sainte-Marguerite neighbourhood.
• 1977 / Two years after its foundation, FC Deportivo Liège joins the Belgian FA, acquiring registration number 8524 upon being accepted as a new member club.
• 1982 / A merger is concluded between SC Iberia and FC Deportivo Liège, resulting in the foundation of the new entity of Unión Deportivo (UD) Iberia, which retains Iberia’s registration number 8474 and settles on that club’s ground, i.e. pitch 2 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres.
• 1990 / A new merger is concluded, this time between UD Iberia and Athletico Español de Liège, leading to the foundation of Athletico Iberia Deportivo, which retains Iberia’s registration number 8474 and settles on that club’s ground, i.e. pitch 2 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres.
• 1997 / With the first thirty odd years of the history of the club being shrouded in clouds, we now find Athletico Iberia Deportivo in Liège’s Provincial League 4D, finishing in fourth place in that division and gaining promotion to Provincial League 3 via the play-offs.
• 2002 / Athletico Iberia Deportivo finishes in a respectable third place in Liège’s Provincial League 3B, but surprisingly we find the club in Provincial League 4 in the new season; this may have been down to a voluntary choice by the club to restart at the bottom of the pyramid or a punishment meted out by the Belgian FA for an irregularity of some sort.
• 2003 / Champions in Liège’s Provincial League 4B, 4 points ahead of closest rivals RUS Glontoise, Athletico Iberia Deportivo manages a return to Provincial League 3. No information is available regarding the last three years of club history of ‘Iberia’ (2003-06).
• 2006 / As Iberia’s neighbour club UDE Liège, as UD Española had been renamed in 2002, has to cease activities due to grave financial problems, this club is absorbed into Athletico Iberia Deportivo, which takes on the name Union des Clubs Espagnols (UCE) de Liège, retaining its own registration number 8422; number 6725 of UDE Liège is erased from the membership list of the Belgian FA. First team football moves to Española’s ground, pitch 1 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres, with pitch 2 (‘Iberia’) and 3 (‘Sevilla’) being retained for lower team football and training sessions.
• 2009 / UCE Liège, of which the first team plays in Provincial League 3, creates a B team, which is placed in Provincial League 4 and plays its home matches on pitch 2 of the Plaine des Manoeuvres.
• 2015 / Runner-up in Liège’s Provincial League 4G alongside SFC Saive B, 3 points behind champions RJS Chênéenne B, UCE Liège B qualifies for the promotion play-offs. Knocking out FC Herstal B in R1 (4-0) and AS Houtain B in R2 (2-4), the club reaches the final, in which R Baelen FC proves too strong (0-1). With an extra promotion place being at stake, the team qualifies for a lucky loser play-off, in which it edges past RFC Huy B in the semis (4-4 A.E.T. & penalty shoot-out), going on to defeat R Banneux FC B in the final (6-2). As a result, UCE Liège B wins promotion to Provincial League 3.
• 2022 / Finishing bottom of the table in Liège’s Provincial League 3B, UCE Liège B drops back into Provincial League 4, alongside RFC Soumagne and RES Templiers-Nandrin B.
• 2024 / Finishing in fourth place in Liège’s Provincial League 4D, UCE Liège B qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club is eliminated in R1 by RSC Saive B (5-4).

Belgium, province: Liège = Luik

13 VIII 2026 / R Sprimont Banneux B - RFC Seraing U21 2-1 / Pre-season friendly

Timeline

• 1927 / In Oneux, a village situated halfway between Comblain-au-Pont and Aywaille in the southern half of the Province of Liège, a football club is founded, which takes on the name Espérance FC Oneux. It is improbable that this club played its football on the pitch at Parc Saint-Martin in Comblain-au-Pont from the outset, but any information regarding the matter is missing.
• 1928 / One year after its foundation, Espérance FC Oneux joins the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB), acquiring registration number 1248. Earlier that same year, a new football club had also seen the daylight in the nearby village of Poulseur; this club takes on the name Etoile FC Poulseur, acquiring registration number 1230 upon joining the Belgian Football Association. It is unclear where the ground of this club was situated – it may have been the Site de la Gombe, on the location of a former stone quarry, but any proof is missing.
• 1936 / After an existence of eight years, Etoile FC Poulseur folds, ceasing all activities; registration number 1230 is erased from the membership list of the Belgian FA. 
• 1938 / Having remained inactive for two years, the board of Etoile FC Poulseur re-establishes the dormant club, concluding a merger agreement with another local club which was a member of the Fédération Socialiste de Football (FSF), resulting in the foundation of Poulseur FC, which joins the Belgian FA with registration number 2659. Yet again, it is unclear if this club played at the Site de la Gombe from the outset, but this may well have been the case.
• 1956 / Obtaining the royal epithet, Espérance FC Oneux officially changes its name to become Royale Espérance FC (REFC) Oneux. Nothing is known about the post-war performance of this club, which never reached the national divisions.
• 1972 / With further data regarding the club’s performances lacking altogether, it is clear that Poulseur FC played in Liège’s Provincial League 1 in the 1972-73 season, managing a thirteenth place in the final ranking.
• 1988 / Poulseur FC acquires the royal epithet, thus officially becoming Royal Poulseur Football Club – abbreviated as R Poulseur FC.
• 1989 / A merger is concluded between R Espérance FC Oneux and R Poulseur FC, resulting in the foundation of R Comblain Sport, which retains Oneux’s registration number 1248; number 2659 of Poulseur FC is erased from the Belgian FA’s membership list. Most probably, following the merger, all activities moved to the Site de la Gombe in Poulseur, with the ground of Oneux, the Parc Saint-Martin in Comblain-au-Pont, being abandoned.
• 1995 / Runner-up in Liège’s Provincial League 1 behind champions RFC Union La Calamine, R Comblain Sport qualifies for the promotion play-offs, going on to win the Liège play-offs, but suffering defeat in R1 of the interprovincial play-offs against RUS Andenne-Seilles (4-2).
• 1996 / R Comblain Sport clinches the title in Liège’s Provincial League 1, 6 points ahead of runner-up R Entente Racing Club Amay; as such, the club manages an unprecedented promotion to National Division 4.
• 1997 / In the best season in club history, R Comblain Sport manages an eighth place in National Division 4D.
• 1998 / Finishing in ninth place in National Division 4D, R Comblain Sport qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club bows out in R1 against derby rivals R Sprimont Sports (1-1 A.E.T. & penalty shoot-out).
• 1999 / Finishing in third-last place in National Division 4C, R Comblain Sport drops back into Provincial League 1 after three seasons, along with KSV Mol, R Prayon FC, and bottom club RFC Union La Calamine.
• 2002 / Finishing bottom of the table in Liège’s Provincial League 1, R Comblain Sport descends into Provincial League 2 along with R Couthuin Sports and RFC Warnant. However, following the 2001-02 season, a merger is concluded between R Sprimont Sports and R Comblain Sport, resulting in the foundation of R Sprimont-Comblain Sport, which retains Sprimont’s registration number 260; Comblain’s number 1248 is erased from the Belgian FA’s membership list. Henceforth, first team football is played at the Stade du Tultay in Sprimont, with the merger club’s youth academy finding a place at the Site de la Gombe in Poulseur.
• 2018 / Following the 2017-18 season, a merger is concluded between R Sprimont-Comblain Sport and R Banneux FC, which results in the foundation of Football Comblain Banneux (FCB) Sprimont, which retains Sprimont’s registration number 260; Banneux’s number 1060 is erased from the Belgian FA’s membership list. From now on, the new club disposes of three grounds; the Stade du Tultay in Sprimont for first team football, Stade Georges Radoux in Banneux for the club’s B team in the provincial divisions as well as some training sessions, and the Site de la Gombe in Poulseur for the youth academy.
• 2025 / As FCB Sprimont retrieves its royal epithet, which had been temporarily lost in the 2018 merger for administrative reasons, the club takes on the adapted name R Sprimont Banneux. Also in 2025, due to the state of the pitch of the Stade Georges Radoux in Banneux being deemed unsatisfactory, R Sprimont Banneux B, playing in Liège's Provincial League 2, plays its home matches in the first half of the 2025-26 season at the Site de la Gombe.
• 2026 / As the state of the pitch of Stade Georges Radoux is deemed satisfactory, R Sprimont Banneux B abandons the Site de la Gombe in favour of the ground in Banneux for its home matches in January 2026.
