Complexe Sportif du Bempt, Brussels = Brussel = Bruxelles Vorst = Forest (FC Forest, Renaissance Sportive Forestoise, Maccabi Brussels, Educ'Active El Hikma Bxl FC & B ground of BX Brussels / formerly RCS Forestoise, RC Forest, Sporting Ovetense-Forest, CD Turon Bruxelles, Racing Forest-Ovetense, RAS Maccabi Bruxelles, Racing Forest-Ovetense-Turon & A ground of BX Brussels)

Belgium, Brussels Capital Area

6 I 2019 / RS Forestoise - RC Villers-la-Ville 1-3 / Brabant, ACFF Provincial League 1 (= BE level 6)

Note: the history of this ground is particularly complicated and has not been well documented; some of the years mentioned in the header are no more than guesses on my part. So far, nobody has been able to clear up to me the following questions - and anyone being able to answer one or more of these is invited to contact me via the comment section: 
(1) when was the ground constructed? (guess, based on some conversations with locals: mid-1960s);
(2) Did the following clubs really play at Bempt, and, if so, during which years: Sporting Ovetense-Forest / CD Turon Bruxelles / Racing Forest-Ovetense / Racing Forest-Ovetense-Turon;
(3) In which year did RAS Maccabi Bruxelles (and its successor Maccabi Brussels), who originally played their football at the Stade Adrien Bertelson (and continued to use that ground for lower team matches and the occasional first team match until 2015), move in at Bempt?
(4) Were there any other regular Belgian association football clubs (excepting the inevitable ABSSA teams) who, at one point or another, played their football at Bempt?
What can be established, though, is that the current clubhouse was inaugurated in 2012.

    1. Merci - le nom de ce club y est dans le titre, mais depuis 2005 - selon mes infos c'est l'année dans laquelle le club a commencé jouer au Stade Bempt. Est-ce que ces infos ne sont pas corrects? Cordialement.
