BELGIUM: RUS Liège (1909-1953) / CS Etoile d'Or (1974-) / FC Atlas (2006-) / Ayyildiz Liège (2011-2012) / CQ Turquoise Montegnée (2012-2013)

Stade Communal du Centenaire, Liège = Luik Saint-Nicolas = Sint-Niklaas (CS Etoile d'Or & FC Atlas, formerly R Union Sportive de Liège / Ayyildiz Liège / CQ Turquoise Montegnée)

Belgium, province: Liège = Luik

17 XI 2019 / FC Atlas - FC Jeneffe 15-0 / ALFA Division d'Honneur

Note: this ground was home to Union Sportive de Liège, which merged with Gold Star Liège in 1953 after being deprived of the right to play on this communal pitch. The next twenty years of the ground's history are nebulous to say the least. Since the 1970s, it has been used by CS Etoile d'Or, who were joined by FC Atlas (founded in 1991) in 2006; both teams play their football in ALFA (Association Liégeoise de Football Amateur), a league of clubs from the Greater Liège region not affiliated to the official Belgian Football Association. In 2011-12, the short-lived club Ayyildiz Liège, taking part in Provincial League 4, played its matches at this ground as well; the club folded after just one season (although they were due to take part in the 2012-13 season, a 'forfait général' followed and not a single match was played. Probably, the club CQ Turquoise Montegnée, which was founded in 2011 (matricule 9575) and played at Terrain Halkin in the first two years of its existence, moved to Stade du Centenaire in 2013 - where it played for one year before being absorbed by FC Horion.
