NETHERLANDS: vv Leeuwarden (1936-1994) / LAC Frisia (1936-±1955) / SC Cambuur (1964-1989, 2009-) / Cambuur-Leeuwarden (1989-2009)

Sportpark Cambuur West (Cambuurstadion), Leeuwarden (SC Cambuur, formerly vv Leeuwarden / LAC Frisia / SC Cambuur-Leeuwarden)

Netherlands, province: Frisia = Friesland

20 II 2009 / Cambuur-Leeuwarden - FC Omniworld 2-0 / Eerste Divisie (= NL level 2)
4 VIII 2013 / SC Cambuur - NAC Breda 0-0 / Eredivisie (= NL level 1)

Note 1: it took four years to construct Leeuwarden's Gemeentelijk Sportpark, from 1932 to 1936. LAC Frisia and vv Leeuwarden groundshared on the main pitch; soon after vv Leeuwarden joined the ranks of the professional league clubs in 1954, LAC Frisia were relegated to playing on one of the ground's side-pitches (before finally moving away to Sportpark De Magere Weide in 1968). In 1964, it was decided upon to split up vv Leeuwarden into a league club (named after the ground: SC Cambuur) and a non-league branch, which continued to use the name vv Leeuwarden and groundshared with SC Cambuur in the stadium until 1994, when the non-leaguers packed their bags and moved to the side pitch right behind the stadium's East Stand. Since, SC Cambuur (named Cambuur-Leeuwarden between 1989 and 2009) have been the sole occupants of the stadium.

BELGIUM: KSV Mol (196?-2002) / KFC Racing Mol-Wezel (2002-2010) / KFC Wezel Sport (B) (± 2019-2024) / KFC Wezel Sport (2024-)

Georges Claesstadion, Mol Ginderbuiten (KFC Wezel Sport, formerly KSV Mol / KFC Racing Mol-Wezel / B ground of KFC Wezel Sport)

Belgium, province: Antwerp = Antwerpen

8 II 2009 / KFC Racing Mol-Wezel - KRC Mechelen 1-1 / National Division 3B (= BE level 3)
31 III 2011 / England U17 - Spain U17 2-1 / U17 European Championships qualifier


Note - KFC Racing Mol-Wezel merged with KVSK United Lommel-Overpelt in 2010, forming Lommel United (which, in effect, amounted to the elimination of Mol-Wezel). For many, only recreational (women's) football was played at the Georges Claesstadion, until the renascent KFC Wezel Sport moved in (c. 2019) for lower team football and training purposes. Ultimately, in the summer of 2024, KFC Wezel Sport - by that time playing in VFV Amateur Division 2 - moved their first team football from Terrein Moresnetlaan to the Georges Claesstadion.
