Note 1 - Due to the Stade René Linotte undergoing renovations from the summer of 2020 onwards, ESFC du Geer moved its first team football to Waremme's Stade Longchamps for the 2020-22 seasons as well as the start of the 2022-23 season. The inauguration of the rechristened Complexe Sportif Freddy Dabompré took place in October 2022.

Timeline

• 1921 / Foundation of a new football club in Waremme, which is given the name Stade Waremmien FC.
• 1922 / A year following its foundation, Stade Waremmien FC joins Belgium’s Football Association. The club moves into Stade Longchamps in Petit-Axhe that same year.
• 1972 / Having played at Stade Longchamps for 50 years, the club now moves away to the newly built Stade Edmond Leburton, situated closer to the town centre. Simultaneously, on the northern side of the new stadium, a pitch is put in place for the benefit of local recreational clubs, including Cosmo Waremme, which is sponsored by a local café, named Cosmos. Moreover, not far from the new stadium, at Site Haute-Wegge, new training facilities are built for R Stade Waremmien around the same time. 
• 2020 / Waremme’s municipal authorities allow asylum seekers to make use of the clubhouse at Site du Haute-Wegge, meaning that Stade Waremmien can no longer use the premises. Youth academy training sessions have continued to be held at the two pitches of Haute-Wegge, but with the youths having to use the dressing rooms of Stade Leburton.
• 2024 / New floodlights are put in place at Site Haute-Wegge.

BELGIUM: White Star Wommersom (1976-2018)

Klein Broekstraat, Wommersom (formerly White Star Wommersom)

Belgium, province: Flemish Brabant

March 2019 / no match visited

Note: the hamlet of Wommersom had three football clubs: first, Vlug & Vrij Wommersom (1941-1946 / matricule 3229 / moved & changed name to become Voorwaarts Tienen, 1946); then Wit Star Wommersom (1952-1958 / matricule 5583) and lastly White Star Wommersom (matricule 8410), which folded in December 2018. It is beyond my knowledge if White Star Wommersom's two predecessors played their football on this same pitch.

BELGIUM: SK Pijpelheide (1971-1998) / KSK Heist (B) (1998-2014)

Terrein Dophei, Pijpelheide (formerly SK Pijpelheide / B ground of KSK Heist)

Belgium, province: Antwerp

March 2019 / no match visited

Note: after the demise of SK Pijpelheide, the premises were taken over by KSK Heist for training and lower team football purposes, though I have not found out the exact years of their tenure. It is probable that Heist, who had meanwhile (in 2013) found a larger training ground in Itegem, left Dophei in 2014 in favour of Terrein Rozendaelstraat in Itegem. At my visit in March 2019, only the entrance booth (photos 1-2 below) was left; the pitch itself as well as the clubhouse have been removed completely. The last two photos are screenshots from Google Maps, showing the situation in the summer of 2013.
