Belgium, province: Limburg
11 IX 2021 / VCJ Heur Sluizen - SK Munsterbilzen 1-0 / Limburg, Provincial League 3A (= BE level 8)
Note: Standaard Sluise-aan-Jeker, founded in 1927, played their football on this pitch until 1962, when the club folded. A new club saw the daylight, VC Sluizen, which, however, took part in regional leagues not affiliated to Belgium's FA for over thirty years until joining the official Provincial League system in 1998. Three years on, in 2001, a merger was concluded with K Hoger-Op Mal, forming KSK Jecora, with first team football moving to Mal. After the demise of KSK Jecora in 2008, a new VC Sluizen was founded, which joined a regional Saturday league. In 2018, in a repeat of what happened twenty years before, the club chose to take the step of becoming a member of the Belgian FA under the new name of VC Jekervallei Sluizen - thereby hoping to attract youth players from other villages surrounding Sluizen as well ('Jekervallei' being the denomination of the valley around the Jeker/Geer river). In 2021, the new name of VCJ Heur Sluizen was adopted after FC Heur-Tongeren from nearby Tongeren (playing under the registration number of the former KV Heur VV from the village of Diets-Heur, not far from Sluizen) eliminated the 'Heur' element from their name to become SK Tongeren. One year later, a new merger ensued, with VCJ Heur Sluizen retaining its registration number 9701 in a merger with Union FC Rutten (number 6238) and Valencia VC Piringen (number 7137), resulting in the foundation of Unico Tongeren; from that moment on, first team football has taken place at Rutten's Terrein Raam, while VCJ Sluizen's ground at Tweemolensstraat houses the bulk of the new club's youth academy, with Piringen's Terrein Gaezeberg remaining in use for training sessions.
