Timeline

• ± 1919 / Shortly after the end of World War I, with the British forces being hailed as liberators in Belgium following the defeat of the German occupiers, football is brought to the attention of the inhabitants of the Borinage region by the soldiers from overseas. Several clubs are formed in the aftermath, one of them being Patria Club Dour in the eponymous mining town. It is unclear where the pitch of this club was situated.
• 1920 / Patria Club Dour, which was a member of the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB) folds, ceasing all activities.
• 1923 / Refoundation of a football club in Dour, which now takes on the name Patria FC Dour, acquiring membership of Belgium’s FA under a slightly adapted name, Patria Cercle Sportif (CS) Dour later that same year. Patria CS Dour starts its existence as a competitive club in Hainaut’s Regional League 4. As in the case of its predecessor, it is unclear where the pitch of this club was situated.
• 1925 / Champions in Hainaut’s Regional League 4B, 7 points ahead of closest followers RLC Hornu B, Patria CS Dour wins promotion to Regional League 3. 
• 1926 / Upon the introduction of the system of registration numbers by the Belgian FA, Patria CS Dour acquires number 277.
• 1929 / Runner-up in Hainaut’s Regional League 3B, 4 points behind champions RC Nimysien, Patria CS Dour wins promotion to Regional League 2, the top level of the provincial league pyramid at the time.
• 1932 / Finishing in third-last place in Hainaut’s Regional League 2A, by now the second tier of Hainaut’s provincial divisions, Patria CS Dour drops back into Regional League 3 alongside LC Givry and bottom club Olympic Rumois.
• 1933 / Runner-up in Hainaut’s Regional League 3C, 4 points behind champions LC Givry, Patria CS Dour manages a return to Regional League 2 after one season only.
• 1939 / In its last season as a competitive club, Patria CS Dour finishes in seventh place in Hainaut’s Regional League 2A.
• 1948 / Having remained dormant during the war years and their aftermath, Patria CS Dour sees its registration number 277 being struck from the Belgian FA’s membership list. Strikingly, there does not seem to have been a football club in Dour affiliated to the Belgian FA in the following two decades; no doubt, football activities continued on a recreational basis, but no information is available on this subject.
• 1971 / Foundation of a new club in Dour, Racing Club (RC) Dourois, which joins the Belgian FA with registration number 7655 and starting its existence in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4. Most probably, RC Dour settled on the Terrain du Moranfayt – and possibly the ground was laid out specifically for the club, but there is no information available regarding this matter.
• 1975 / Runner-up in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4C, 1 point behind champions US Frontière, RC Dourois wins automatic promotion to Provincial League 3, alongside the champions and US Beloeil-Stambruges, which finishes in third place, due to one extra Provincial League 3 series being created in the new season.
• 1976 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, RC Dourois drops back into Provincial League 4 after one season only, along with bottom club FCR Mons.
• 1978 / RC Dourois finishes as runner-up in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4D, 8 points behind champions FC Thulin.
• 1979 / Champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4C, with an equal number of points as derby rivals SC Petit-Dour, but with 22 wins to its count as opposed to 19 for Petit-Dour, RC Dourois manages a return to Provincial League 3 after three years.
• 1980 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, RC Dourois descends into Provincial League 4 straightaway, along with bottom club US Beloeil-Stambruges.
• 1984 / Champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4D, 8 points ahead of closest followers US Frontière, RC Dourois manages a return to Provincial League 3.
• 1987 / Runner-up in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, 1 point behind champions SC Frameries, RC Dourois goes on to win the promotion play-offs, thus acceding to Provincial League 2 for the first time.
• 1989 / In the best season in club history, RC Dourois finishes in sixth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2B.
• 1990 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2B, RC Dourois drops back into Provincial League 3 after three years, along with bottom club SC Leval.
• 1991 / Finishing bottom of the table in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, RC Dourois suffers its second relegation in a row, descending into Provincial League 4 alongside the club in second-last place, RUS Belstam.
• 2005 / After a decade mainly spent near the bottom places in Provincial League 4, RC Dourois manages a fourteenth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4B in its last season. Following the 2004-05 season, the club folds, ceasing all activities, with registration number 7655 being struck from the Belgian FA’s membership list. The Terrain du Moranfayt is abandoned.
• 2006 / Foundation of a new club in Dour, which takes on the straightforward name FC Dour, acquiring membership of the Belgian FA with registration number 9491 and taking the place of the former RC Dourois at Terrain du Moranfayt. In the 2006-07 season, FC Dour is placed in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4.
• 2008 / Following two seasons near the bottom places in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4, FC Dour concludes a merger with SC Elouges from the nearby village of Elouges, resulting in the foundation of Entente Sportive (ES) Elouges-Dour, with registration number 8850 of SC Elouges being retained; number 9491 of FC Dour is erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists. Initially, first team football moves to the Terrain de Sainte-Odile in Elouges, with the Terrain du Moranfayt in Dour being retained for lower team football and training sessions. Plans are presented by the Dour municipal council to realise a synthetic playing field on the Terrain du Moranfayt by 2010.
• 2009 / With works getting underway at the Terrain du Moranfayt, ES Elouges-Dour has to move all its activities to the Terrain de Sainte-Odile in Elouges, which has been given a new natural grass surface.
• 2013 / Three years after the planned realisation of the plans – and with the ground in Dour having been out of use for four full seasons – the synthetic playing field at the Terrain du Moranfayt is inaugurated. First team football – meanwhile at Provincial League 2 level following a promotion in 2010 – moves to the new location straightaway, with the Terrain de Sainte-Odile in Elouges being retained for lower team football and training sessions.
• ± 2015 / ES Elouges-Dour abandons the Terrain de Sainte-Odile in Elouges, with all activities being moved to the Terrain du Moranfayt in Dour.
• 2016 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2B, ES Elouges-Dour drops back into Provincial League 3, alongside bottom club RAJS Honnelloise.
• 2017 / Finishing in fifth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, ES Elouges-Dour qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club eliminates Association Montkainoise B in R1 (0-3), only to be knocked out in R2 by RSB Frameries (0-1).
• 2018 / Champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3C, with an equal number of points as runner-up ESC Horrues, but with 20 victories (vs. 19 wins for Horrues), ES Elouges-Dour wins promotion to Provincial League 2.
• 2019 / Finishing in third-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2A, ES Elouges-Dour drops back into Provincial League 3 after one season only, along with FC Béclers and bottom club Association Montkainoise. 
• 2020 / In the 2019-20 season, cut short due to the first COVID lockdown in March 2020, ES Elouges-Dour finds itself top of the table in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, 1 point ahead of RAFC Cuesmes, with 23 of 30 matches played. On that basis, ES Elouges-Dour is admitted to Provincial League 2 in the 2020-21 season. Also by 2020 at its latest, Dour’s municipal authorities allow national league club R Francs Borains from nearby Boussu to move its reserves’ team’s home matches to the Terrain du Moranfayt.
• 2021 / R Francs Borains creates a B team in Provincial League 4, with home matches being staged at the Terrain du Moranfayt in Dour.
• 2022 / Clinching the title in Hainaut’s Provincial League 4D, 1 point ahead of closest rivals RLC Givry, R Francs Borains B wins promotion to Provincial League 3.
• 2023 / Finishing in fourth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, R Francs Borains B qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the team knocks out RFC Labuissière in R1 (4-3), going on to edge past RFC Ellezelles in the final (0-0 A.E.T. & penalty shoot-out). As such, the team wins promotion to Provincial League 2; however, R Francs Borains decides to withdraw its B team from the regular provincial divisions after two seasons.
• 2024 / Finishing in third-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2B, ES Elouges-Dour goes on to suffer defeat in R1 of the relegation play-offs against SRJS Thudinienne (3-0), resulting in the club dropping back into Provincial League 3 alongside AS Morlanwelzienne and bottom team RFCR Symphorinois B.
• 2025 / With the Plaine Communale at Rue de Chièvres in Hensies being completely renovated, the club playing here, RUS Hensies, is allowed to move its first team football to the Terrain du Moranfayt in Dour for the duration of the works.
• 2026 / Finishing bottom of the table in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3B, ES Elouges-Dour drops back into Provincial League 4, alongside RAS Ghlinoise. Later that same year, in November 2026, RUS Hensies moves its first team football back to the reconstructed Plaine Communale at Rue de Chièvres in Hensies.

BELGIUM: RAA Brainoise (± 1965-1969) / R Stade Brainois (B) (1969-2021) / R Union Tubize-Braine (D) (2021-2022) / R Union Tubize-Braine (C) (2022-) / RFC Ronquières HY 86 (2026-2027)

Belgium, province: Hainaut = Henegouwen

4 X 2026 / RFC Ronquières HY 86 - RFCE Maurage 1-1 / Hainaut, Provincial League 3C (= BE level 8)

Timeline

• 1923 / In Braine-le-Comte (a village in the northeast of the Province of Hainaut, referred to in Dutch as ‘s-Gravenbrakel), a football club is formed, which is given the name Amicale Athlétique (AA) Brainoise. The club probably started its life on a pitch situated at Rue de la Bienfaisance. AA Brainoise may not have been the first football club to see the daylight in Braine-le-Comte, given that sources mention the existence of an Union Sportive (US) Brainoise, which was formed in 1907 and folded in 1908 or shortly thereafter; it is unclear, however, if US Brainoise was a club from Braine-le-Comte or one of the other villages called Braine; Braine-l’Alleud (Eigenbrakel) and Braine-le-Château (Kasteelbrakel).
• 1924 / One year after its foundation, AA Brainoise is admitted into the ranks of the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB).
• 1925 / AA Brainoise starts its existence as a competitive club in Hainaut’s Regional League 4, managing to climb up the ranks to Regional League 2 by 1928 either through promotion or a reform of the league pyramid. 
• 1926 / With the introduction of the system of registration numbers at the Belgian FA, AA Brainoise obtains number 343.
• 1932 / Winning the title in Hainaut's Regional League 2A, 3 points ahead of closest rivals FC Houdinois and US Leuzoise, AA Brainoise accedes to Provincial League 2, the top level of Hainaut’s provincial divisions at that time. 
• 1934 / Finishing in third-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2, AA Brainoise drops back into Regional League 2 after two years, alongside LC Hornu and bottom club LC Mesvinois.
• 1937 / After AA Brainoise in 1923, a second football club sees the daylight in Braine-le-Comte; this new club, Union Sportive (US) Brainoise obtains registration number 2607 when joining the Belgian FA one year later. US Brainoise settles on a newly laid-out pitch, referred to locally as the Stade au Sans-Fond. Remarkably, the distance between this location and the pitch of AA Brainoise at Rue de la Bienfaisance is no more than some 100 metres.
• 1945 / Following the restart of regular non-league football in Belgium after the havocs of World War II and the German occupation, AA Brainoise is placed in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2 rather than in Regional League 2 due to two P2 groups being created rather than one. By this time, Provincial League 2 is still the top level of the provincial league pyramid.
• 1946 / Finishing bottom of the table in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2A, AA Brainoise descends into Regional League 2 after one season only.
• 1947 / Champions in Hainaut’s Regional League 2B, 5 points ahead of closest followers SC Frameries, AA Brainoise wins promotion to Provincial League 2 – renamed Provincial League 1 in 1952 – where it meets town rivals US Brainoise. 
• 1951 / Obtaining the royal epithet, AA Brainoise adapts its name to become Royale Amicale Athlétique (RAA) Brainoise.
• 1955 / In the best season in club history, RAA Brainoise manages a runner-up place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 1, 13 points behind runaway champions RUS Binchoise.
• 1958 / Finishing in second-last place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 1, RAA Brainoise is retrograded into Provincial League 2, along with RU Jemappienne and bottom club – and derby rivals – US Brainoise.
• 1961 / Champions in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2A ahead of runner-up RUS Lessinoise, RAA Brainoise manages a return to Provincial League 1 after three years.
• ± 1965 / Moving away from its ground at Rue de Bienfaisance, RAA Brainoise settles at a newly laid-out ground at Rue du Poseur.
• 1966 / Finishing in thirteenth place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 1, RAA Brainoise descends into Provincial League 2 after five seasons, alongside RFC Ressaix, RFC Houdinois, and bottom club Soignies Sports.
• 1969 / In its last season as an independent club, RAA Brainoise manages a runner-up finish in Hainaut’s Provincial League 2B behind champions R Enghien Sports. Following the 1968-69 season, a merger is concluded between RAA Brainoise and US Brainoise, resulting in the foundation of Stade Brainois. Although the merger club retains Amicale's registration number 343, the royal epithet is lost due to negligence on the part of the new club’s board – and not retrieved in the following three decades. The new club plays in all-white shirts, thus avoiding any reference to the colours of the two old clubs (Amicale's blue and black; and Union's red and white). Stade Brainois starts its existence in Hainaut's Provincial League 1, the level at which US Brainoise played in its last season as an independent club. From the merger onwards, first team football is played at the Stade au Sans-Fond, the old ground of Union Sportive, while Amicale's Stade du Poseur remains in use for lower team football and training sessions.
• 1995 / The women's football branch of Stade Brainois forms a breakaway club, founding Standard Fémina de Braine (matricule 9286).
• 1999 / Stade Brainois finally retrieves its royal epithet, thus officially becoming Royal Stade Brainois.
• 2021 / R Stade Brainois concludes a merger with former professional league side AFC Tubize from nearby Tubize in Walloon Brabant. The new club, which retains Tubize’s registration number 5632, is officially given the name Royale Union Tubize Braine-le-Comte, although it has since universally been referred to as Royale Union Tubize-Braine (RUTB). Henceforth, the new merger club's first team plays its football in Tubize's Stade Leburton. A B team, which is placed in Walloon Brabant's (instead of Hainaut's!) Provincial League 1 – one obligatory step down from the level at which R Stade Brainois concluded its existence – settles at the Stade au Sans-Fond. The youth academy grounds in Tubize (Terrain du Chalet) and Braine-le-Comte (Stade Communal du Poseur) are retained as well.
• 2022 / R Union Tubize Braine's board files a request at Braine-le-Comte's town council to renovate the Stade au Sans-Fond, but permission for the planned works is not granted. Thereupon, the club takes the far-reaching decision to abandon the historic ground. Home matches of RUTB’s B team, which admirably held its own in Brabant's ACFF Provincial League 1 in the 2021-22 season, are moved to Tubize's Terrain du Chalet. While the other ground in Braine, the Stade Communal du Poseur, remains in use for part of RUTB's youth academy, the Stade au Sans-Fond is turned into a sports facility for padel and tennis.
• 2026 / As the Stade Communal Fernand Higuet in nearby Ronquières is completely renovated, with a synthetic surface being laid out on the main pitch, RFC Ronquières HY 86, playing its football in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3, is allowed to move all its activities to the Stade Communal du Poseur for the duration of the 2026-27 season, groundsharing with part of the youth academy of R Union Tubize Braine on that location.
• 2027 (projected) / After one season in exile at the Stade Communal du Poseur, RFC Ronquières HY 86 moves all of its activities back to the renovated Stade Communal Fernand Higuet in Ronquières proper.

NETHERLANDS: CSV '28

Sportpark De Verbinding, Zwolle Stadshagen (CSV '28)

Netherlands, province: Overijssel

3 X 2026 / CSV '28 - SV Nieuwleusen 2-1 / Combined Sunday & Saturday League 1G (= NL level 6)

Timeline

• 1928 / Foundation of a Reformed Christian football club in Zwolle, Christelijke Sportvereniging (CSV) 1928, during a meeting held at the Eigen Gebouw on Badhuiswal, chaired by Henk Bos. Tom Groeneveld was appointed the club’s first chairman. Following its foundation, CSV '28 rented its first playing field from ZAC at Veerallee for a fee of 1½ Dutch guilders. The foundation of CSV '28 coincides with the foundation of a football club by the less orthodox Dutch Reformed (Nederlands Hervormde) community of Zwolle, CSV Be Quick '28.
• 1929 / CSV ‘28 moves to its second playing field, known as Het Bleekien, located behind Thijssen's tea garden. The ground was also used by PEC and RKSC Zwolle.
• 1930 / CSV '28 establishes a permanent home ground at De Pelikaan, situated on Meppelerweg. The ground was owned by a gentleman known locally as Opoe Diek, associated with the well-known Café Dijk. In the same year, CSV ‘28 began competing in Division 1 of the Zwolle district of the so-called Christelijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond (CNVB), a football association for Protestant clubs unwilling to play their football on Sundays; this federation had been founded one year previously.
• 1934 / CSV '28 finishes as runner-up in Division 1 of the Zwolle district of the CNVB, two points behind champions vv DOS Kampen.
• 1935 / On 27 April, CSV '28 wins the Division 1 title of the CNVB Zwolle district after drawing 2-2 against Go-Ahead Kampen. The club subsequently contests the quarter-finals of the national CNVB championship, where it loses 7-4 to CVV Sparta Enschede in a tie played at a neutral ground in Nijverdal. During this period, CSV ‘28 plays on one of the side-pitches of Sportpark De Vrolijkheid, which was destined to make way for a motorway later on.
• 1940 / The start of World War II and the occupation of the Netherlands brings about a merger of the CNVB football federation with the official, non-confessional Netherlands’ Football Association (KNVB, renamed NVB for the duration of the war). As such, in the 1940-41, CSV ’28 is placed in Saturday Division 1 of Afdeling Zwolle, the western Overijssel NVB sub-branch, organising all football below the level of Sunday & Saturday League 4.
• 1946 / Having become inactive during the latter stages of World War II, CSV ’28 resumes operations, re-entering competition in Saturday Division 2 of Afdeling Zwolle. The club initially plays on a meadow belonging to a farmer near the Agnietenberg, some kilometres to the north of the city.
• 1947 / Struggling to field a full team, CSV ’28 is relegated from Afdeling Zwolle Saturday Division 1 to Division 2.
• 1948 / CSV '28 leaves the Agnietenberg ground, briefly settling on a field owned by the Reinders salad oil factory.
• 1949 / CSV '28 leaves the Reinders field, renting a ground at the municipal sports park alongside the Nieuwe Vecht River, a site later used by SC Hanze. Other clubs playing at the sports park at the time include PEC, CSV Be Quick ’28, and RKSC Zwolle. In a small committee room in the new changing-room building, the club begins its first tentative canteen activities. 
• 1951 / CSV ’28 wins the title of Afdeling Zwolle Saturday Division 2A, finishing 5 points ahead of runner-up vv OWIOS. Under coach E. Gruis, the club subsequently wins the promotion play-offs against Go-Ahead Kampen Reserves (2-1 aggr.), thus securing promotion to Division 1.
• 1955 / Under coach Jaap Holvast, CSV ’28 wins the title in Afdeling Zwolle Saturday Division 1A, finishing 1 point ahead of closest rivals WZC. The club then competes in the championship play-offs against vv Vroomshoopse Boys and vv Mariënberg. Losing both matches against vv Vroomshoopse Boys, CSV ’28 has the better of vv Mariënberg in both of its encounters with this club, thus finishing as runner-up in the play-offs – sufficient to secure promotion to KNVB District East Saturday Division 4 for the first time. 
• 1960 / CSV ’28 finishes as joint runner-up in District East's Saturday League 4B, level on points with vv HHC and 6 points behind champions ESC.
• 1961 / CSV ’28 wins the championship of District East’s Saturday League 4B, finishing 1 point ahead of closest followers SV Hatto-Heim. In the subsequent championship play-offs, CSV competes with vv Voorwaarts V and DTS ’35 for two places in Saturday League 3, with CSV '28 and Voorwaarts securing promotion. At the time, League 3 is the highest level available to Saturday football clubs in District East. The successful coach is Leo Halle, the renowned former goalkeeper of DVV Go-Ahead and the Netherlands national team, nicknamed De Leeuw van Deventer ('The Lion of Deventer'). CSV ’28 top scorer is a striker with the proverbial name Hans Schot (26 goals).
• 1962 / Finishing in joint second-last place in District East’s Saturday League 3 with vv DOS ’37, CSV ’28 goes on to suffer a clear-cut defeat in a tie-break match against the club from Vriezenveen (5-0); as a result, CSV drops back into Saturday League 4. Coach Leo Halle is succeeded by Jan Westerbeek. 
• 1964 / Under coach Jan Westerbeek, CSV ’28 finishes level on points with vv HHC and vv SVI at the top of District East’s Saturday League 4B. A play-off involving the three clubs is therefore required to determine the title and the automatic promotion place. With CSV managing two wins over SVI and a win and a draw against HHC, the club finishes top of the play-off group, thus securing the title and a return to Saturday League 3 after two seasons.
• 1966 / Finishing in second-last place in District East’s Saturday League 3 with coach Jan Westerbeek, CSV ’28 is relegated to Saturday League 4, alongside bottom-placed vv VRC.
• 1969 / CSV '28 moves to Veld (Pitch) 5 at Sportpark De Vrolijkheid. One year later, the club is joined at this park by SV Zwolsche Boys, which settles on the main pitch previously used by PEC, which relocates to Sportpark Oosterenk. During this period, CSV ’28 gradually moves away from its traditionally Reformed Christian identity, beginning to admit players from outside the orthodox Christian community, which contributes to the gradual growth of the club in the following decade.
• 1971 / Under coach Jan Westerbeek, CSV '28 wins the District East's Saturday League 4 championship for the third time, finishing 5 points ahead of vv DKB '44, IJVV, and SV HTC in Saturday League 4B. The title results in the club returning to Saturday League 3 after a five-year gap.
• 1975 / CSV '28 finishes as runner-up in District East's Saturday League 3A, 2 points behind champions vv Olympia '28.
• 1976 / Under coach Jan Westerbeek, CSV ’28 wins the title in District East’s Saturday League 3A, thus securing promotion to Saturday League 2 for the first time in the club’s history. The end of the season proves dramatic. The match between CSV ’28 and ESC is abandoned after a player of the Elburg side throws the ball at the referee. On May 1st, 1976, the teams play the remaining 26 minutes, with CSV '28 preserving its 1-0 lead under intense pressure. The victory enables the club to finish 1 point ahead of its arch-rivals DTS ’35.
• 1977 / CSV ’28 moves from Sportpark De Vrolijkheid to the Aa-landen district of Zwolle, taking up residence at the newly laid-out Sportpark Het Hoge Laar, where it acquires its own clubhouse for the first time.
• 1980 / CSV '28 finishes joint second-bottom in District East’s Saturday League 2D, level with CVV Oranje Nassau Almelo. The two teams contest a tie-break match to determine which club retains its place. In front of 1,500 spectators at Sportpark Bovenmolen in Oldebroek, CSV '28 wins 4-1, thus staving off relegation.
• 1981 / CSV ’28 finishes as runner-up in District East’s Saturday League 2D, 4 points behind champions DTS ’35.
• 1982 / Finishing bottom of the table in District East’s Saturday League 2D with coach Jan Westerbeek, CSV ’28 is relegated to Saturday League 3.
• 1983 / CSV ’28 finishes as runner-up in District East's Saturday League 3B, 3 points behind champions CSV Be Quick ’28. 
• 1985 / After 23 years as coach, Jan Westerbeek leaves CSV ’28. That same year, Harold Borns, who had been top scorer for three consecutive seasons, moves to professional club PEC Zwolle ’82 – due to return to CSV after one season only.
• 1990 / Under coach Ton Heimerinkx, CSV ’28 wins the District East’s Saturday League 3A championship, finishing 4 points ahead of SDS ’55, DTS ’35, and CSV Apeldoorn, thus securing to Saturday League 2. Following the season, talented winger Max Huiberts leaves the club, signing a contract with professional league side FC Zwolle. Huiberts goes on to have spells with Roda JC, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and AZ, before retiring from professional football in 2003.
• 1991 / CSV ’28 finishes in third place in District East’s Saturday League 2D, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, in which the team is drawn in a group with ESC and AZSV. Managing a draw against the former (2-2), CSV suffers defeat against the latter (3-0), resulting in its elimination in the group stage.
