Timeline

• 1942 / A group of boys from Jalhay gathers to play an improvised football match against a selection from nearby Tiège, on a cow pasture near Jalhay on May 17th, 1942 (final score 3-3). Five days later, the foundation meeting is held of Club Sportif (CS) Jalhaytois, which joins the Belgian Football Association under registration number 3616. It is unclear when CS Jalhaytois settled at their current ground. In the course of its history, the club has never reached the national divisions.
• ± 1992 / Around the time of the club celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, CS Jalhaytois acquires the royal epithet, thus officially becoming Royal Club Sportif (RCS) Jalhaytois.
• 2014 / Having played in Provincial League 3 since at least the past six seasons, RCS Jalhaytois now finishes in third-last place in Liège's Provincial League 3D, resulting in the club having to play a set of relegation play-offs. Edging past R Union Flémalloise in R1 (2-2 & penalty shoot-out), the club is knocked out in the final by RFC Croatia Wandre (1-0). As a result, RCS Jalhaytois descends into Provincial League 4 along with the teams in fifteenth and last place in its division, RSC Lontzen and RFC Xhoffraix B.
• 2016 / Finishing in fourth place in Liège's Provincial League 4D, RCS Jalhaytois qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club is knocked out in R1 by RFC Blue Star Gemmenich (4-1).
• 2018 / Finishing in third place in Liège's Provincial League 4H, RCS Jalhaytois qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club is knocked out in R1 by R Spa FC Renouveau (2-2 & penalty shoot-out).
• 2019 / RCS Jalhaytois finishes in third place in Liège's Provincial League 4G, again failing to win promotion via the play-offs.
• 2020 / In the 2019-20 season, cut short due to the first COVID lockdown in March 2020, RCS Jalhaytois finds itself top of the table in Liège's Provincial League 4G, 7 points ahead of closest followers R Spa FC Renouveau, after 24 of 30 matches played. On that basis, the club accedes to Provincial League 3 for the new season.
