Rue de Romsée, Fléron (Entente Jeunesse Fléron, formerly R Fléron FC / R Star Fléron FC / B grond of Entente Jeunesse Fléron)

Belgium, province: Liège = Luik

2 VIII 2018 / R Star Fléron FC - K Honsfelder SV 1-1 - Honsfeld won penalty shoot-out (0-3) / Liège, Provincial Cup R2

Note: R Fléron FC, founded in 1933 (matricule 33!), merged with R Star FC Romsée, occupants of Stade Walthère Delvigne, just a stone's throw away from Fléron's ground, in 2002, forming R Star Fléron FC. Since, all first team football was played in Fléron. Due to a conflict with Fléron's town council, R Star Fléron were finally evicted from their ground and finally, in the summer of 2020, concluded a merger with AS Verviers, forming Racing Club Star Verviers and moving away to Stade Communal de Bielmont and Stade du Panorama, both in Verviers. Meanwhile, a successor club, with better relations with local politicians (in fact even created by Fléron's own mayor, Thierry Ancion), had already been founded: Entente Jeunesse Fléron. For its first season (2018-19), EJ Fléron played its first team football at Retinne's Stade Pierre Cremers, with the club's youth academy settling down at Rue de Romsée in an uneasy groundshare with R Star Fléron FC. In 2019, Ancion moved EJ Fléron's senior team to Rue de Romsée as well - and yet another year later, this club was left as the ground's only user.
