Edmond Machtens, Sint-Jans-Molenbeek = Molenbeek Saint-Jean (RWDM Brussels matr. 2, formerly Daring Club Bruxelles / RWDM matr. 47 / FC Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek "FC Brussels" / RWDM Brussels FC / R White Star Bruxelles / RWDM matr. 5479)
Belgium, Brussels Capital Area
19 IV 2008 / FC Brussels - R Excelsior Mouscron 0-2 / National Division 1 (= BE level 1)
10 XII 2010 / FC Brussels - RAEC Mons 2-0 / National Division 2 (= BE level 2)
31 VIII 2013 / RWDM Brussels FC - R Excelsior Virton 2-1 / National Division 2 (= BE level 2)
24 I 2015 / R White Star Bruxelles - Oud-Heverlee Leuven 1-1 / National Division 2 (= BE level 2)
Note 1 - Amid the complicated history of football in Molenbeek, clarity is hard to come by. One of thes strangest episodes came along in 2025, when RWDM was taken over by an American investor, John Textor, who purchased registration number 2 of the original club using the ground, Daring Club Bruxelles, changing the name of his club from RWDM to Daring Brussels. This created an enormous uproar under supporters, in a situation lasting several weeks during the summer of 2025, with the club eventually budging under the pressure, with the club name changing from Daring Brussels to RWDM Brussels - a move made possible by Belgian Football Association authorities.
Note 2 - Below, four different photo series have been merged into one. Just to create some order in the chaos: photos 1 & 9-16 & 18-20 = RWDM Brussels FC (August 2013) / photos 2-8 = non-matchday visit (April 2014) / photos 17 & 35 = FC Brussels (December 2010) / photos 21-34 = White Star Bruxelles (January 2015)
