Note 2: R Entente Durbuy is the result of a merger between RES Durbuy-Barvaux (itself a combination of RSC Barvautois and ES Durbuysienne from 2003) and RFC Bomal in mid 2015. Though Bomal were the higher playing side, their premises at Rue Driaisne became the club's B ground (until 2020). Due to the 2015 merger, the ground at Rue Saint-Amour in Durbuy, which used to be the B pitch of RES Durbuy-Barvaux, has now fallen into disuse. The stadium in Barvaux was given its present shape in the lead-up to the 2000 European Football Championships, as Denmark's team was due to settle at Barvaux-sur-Ourthe as their training base... but in spite of the complete renovation of the ground, the Danes, disdaining the facilities, never came to the Ardennes.
