BELGIUM: R Ruisbroek FC (1922-2013) / FC Negenmanneke (2014-)

Philippe Destrykerstadion, Ruisbroek = Ruysbroeck (FC Negenmanneke, formerly R Ruisbroek FC)

Belgium, province: Flemish Brabant

4 VIII 2019 / FC Negenmanneke - Vilvoorde City 2-3 / Brabant VFV, Provincial Cup - group stage, group D

Note: R Ruisbroek FC, founded in 1922, played nine seasons of national league football between 1931 and 1962 - and were the club where legendary Anderlecht player Jef Jurion ("Kom aan, Jef, doe eens iets") played his first competitive football. In 2013, Ruisbroek went into administration. After one season of not having been in use, their ground, named after Ruisbroek's former mayor Philippe Destryker, was taken over by FC Negenmanneke, a small provincial league club from a hamlet nearby. Up to that point, Negenmanneke, founded in 1971, had been home at a ground at Meerweg, which has meanwhile been knocked down to make way for housing.
