BELGIUM: SK Moelingen (1980-1998) / SK Moelingen (B) (1998-2015)

Dorpsstraat, Moelingen = Mouland (formerly SK Moelingen)

Belgium, province: Limburg

July 2012 & October 2021 / no match visited

Note 1: Sportkring Moelingen, founded in 1968 as a recreational football club, successfully applied for membership of the Belgian Football Association in 1973. In 1980, the ground at Dorpsstraat was inaugurated. Oddly, enough, the entrance and the buildings of the ground were on Belgian soil, while the pitch was situated on Dutch territory. In 1998, the club left for the newly built Valentijn Theunissenstadion in 's-Gravenvoeren. For the following seventeen years, the premises in Moelingen remained in for youth games and training purposes (though not in each and every season - when I visited in 2012, it was obvious that the ground was not being looked after). In 2015, all remnants of the ground still visible in the photo series below were removed. Nowadays, the former pitch is a pasture, part of a large farm; just the small entrance booth (cp. last photo) betrays the fact that, once upon a time, football used to be played here.
