Route de Musson - Rue du Bois, Halanzy (B ground of RCS Halanzy, formerly A ground of CS Halanzy)
Belgium, province: Luxembourg
18 IX 2011 / RCS Halanzy Reserves - FC Baranzy Reserves 3-1 / Belgian Luxembourg, Reserves' League - group C
Note: When Cercle Sportif (CS) Halanzy saw the daylight in 1927, it was the third successive football club to be founded in the village of Halanzy, after the short-lived Etoile Sportive (ES) Halanzynoise during the years of World War I and Entente Sportive Halanzy, founded in 1921 but disbanded after no more than a few years at most. Initially, CS Halanzy took part in a local league of village clubs (1928-29) before joining the Belgian Football Association in 1929, receiving matricule 1245. The club's first ground was the so-called Terrain au Moulin, situated at the foot of the Côte du Calvaire at the northern side of the village. In 1937, the club moved to a new pitch situated at Route de Musson - although nowadays the entrance to the ground is on the other side, at Rue du Bois. At the outset, an old railroad car served as changing room; later, it was replaced by the current clubhouse. The club remained at Route de Musson for twenty years, until 1957, when a second move was undertaken - this time to the Lieu-dit 'A la Motte' (also known less flatteringly as Pré de la Soupe), close to the village centre. This Stade Constant Mathieu - named after the mayor of Halanzy at the time who doubled as CS Halanzy's president - is still in use today (though renamed Stade Franck Ridremont in the 1980s), but the premises at Rue du Bois have remained in use ever since for lower team football and training purposes.
