Belgium, province: Liège = Luik
19 IX 2021 / RAF Franchimontois - FC Union Walhorn 2-0 / Liège, Provincial League 2C (= BE level 7)
Note: FC Hougnes played at this ground until the club's demise in 2002 (under the name SC Verviers, which it took on two years previously). They were succeeded by FC Jehanster (founded in 1984), who abandoned their premises in Jehanster's village centre (Chemin de Surister) in favour of the pitches at Croix de Fays. In 2009, however, FC Jehanster were absorbed into RAF Franchimontois in 2009, leaving room for a new tenant. The ground was taken over by RFC Heusy-Rouheid from nearby Heusy, who moved all their football activities there, leaving their premises at Champ des Oiseaux where they had been home from 1960 onwards. In 2011, a 3G was installed on the main pitch in Jehanster. For the duration of the 2021-22 season, RAF Franchimontois groundshared with Heusy due to their own pitches at the Centre Sportif de Theux in Juslenville being ravaged by the severe floodings which hit the region in July 2021 - eventually returning their first team football following the putting in place of a new synthetic pitch. Following the 2023-24 season, RFC Heusy-Rouheid folded, ceasing all activities, following the club's inability to bring together a sufficient number of players for their first team. This leaves the future of Terrain Croix de Fays in nimbles.
