Timeline

• 1966 / Foundation of a football club in Gimnée and Doische, which takes on the name Entente Sportive (ES) Gimneenne. The new club receives registration number 6911 upon joining Belgium’s Football Federation (URBSFA / KBVB). Most probably, football was played at the pitch situated at Rue Martin Sandron in Doische from the outset, but no absolute certainty can be given on the matter.
• 1973 / Foundation of a football club in Mazée, which takes on the name Union Sportive (US) Mazeenne. The new club receives registration number 7980 upon joining Belgium’s Football Federation. Almost certainly, football was played at the pitch situated at Rue de la Saute in Mazée from the outset.
• 1996 / A merger is concluded between ES Gimneenne and US Mazeenne, resulting in the foundation of Entente Sportive (ES) Gimnée-Mazée, with US Mazeenne’s registration number 7980 being retained. All activities move to Gimneenne’s ground in Doische (later renamed Stade Damien Bentz), with the pitch at Rue de la Saute in Mazée being abandoned.
