27 IX 2017 / SC Steinfort - FC Blo Wäiss Medernach 1-1 / Division 1 Série 1 (= LUX level 3)

Note: when the German occupied Luxembourg in World War II, the oppressors stripped FC Sporting Steinfort of their English epithet and renamed the club FK Steinfort; after the war, the old club name was reinstated. In 2007, FC Sporting Steinfort merged with Sporting Club Lissabon Luxembourg to form Sporting Club Steinfort. In the summer of 2019, a new name change took place, with the club henceforth choosing to be known as FC Stengefort.

BELGIUM: RCS Saint-Louis Athus (1926-1958) / RSC Athusien (B) (1958-2016) / RSC Athusien (2016-)

Stade François Ricco - Rue Haute, Athus (RSC Athusien, formerly RCS Saint-Louis Athus)

Belgium, province: Luxembourg

24 IX 2017 / SC Athusien - ES Châtillon 2-3 / Belgian Luxembourg, Provincial League 3E (= BE level 8)

Note: the Rue Haute ground in Athus has a long history, as it was the stadium of R Cercle Sportif Saint-Louis Athus, the town's catholic club. After the merger with RFC JS Athusienne in 1958, forming RSC Athusien, first team football moved to the former JS ground, Rue de France (which is just across the railroad, literally no more than a stone's throw away). The Rue Haute remained in use for lower team football and training purposes. In 2016, however, it was decided upon to leave the Rue de France stadium and move all activities to the more modernly equipped youth ground. As a result, regular first team football returned to the Rue Haute for the first time since the late 1950s, though it has to be pointed out that CS Saint-Louis played its matches on what is now pitch 2 of Rue Haute. In 2017, after the passing of longtime club president François Ricco, the stadium was named after him.
