Note - ES Mariembourgeoise, founded in 1956, merged with RFC Avenir Couvinois in 1992, forming RES Couvin-Mariembourg. In 2019, the club absorbed JS Fraire, resulting in RES Couvin-Mariembourg-Fraire seeing the daylight. In 2021, this merger was disentangled, though the old name RES Couvin-Mariembourg will not be reinstated until mid-2022. In 2020, the decision was taken upon to move first team football from Stade Roi Soleil to Couvin's ground at Rue de la Foulerie - hitherto housing just the club's youth academy - due to problems with floodlighting in Mariembourg - except for a limited number of matches in the 2021/2022 season which will take place at the Stade Roi Soleil. In the 2021/2022 season, none of Couvin-Mariembourg's other football teams played their football in Mariembourg either. In 2022, first team football returned to Mariembourg. After some complicated to and fro between the grounds at Mariembourg and Couvin - and even the foundation of a short-lived US Couvinoise, playing its first-team football in Mariembourg - municipal authorities of Couvin allowed ES Petigny-Frasnes to take over the ground in mid-2025 for its first team football. In its first season at the new location, 2025-26, finishing in second-last place in Namur's Provincial League 1, ES Petigny-Frasnes descends into Provincial League 2, along with CS Wépionnais, RFC Rhisnois, and bottom club RUS Pondrôme.
