11 XII 2021 / R Idéal Rangers Ucclois - R La Lorraine FC III 4-1 / ABBSA Div. 6C

Note: Until 1952, the ground at Rue des Griottes / Noordkriekenstraat in Uccle/Ukkel in the far south of the Brussels Capital Area, was home to R Léopold Club - subsequently, once the club moved their first team football to the Stade de la Chaussée de Neerstalle, it became the training ground of this club and its successors (various name changes and mergers). The current clubhouse (cp. last two photos below) was inaugurated in 1990; since, the ground as a whole has been named after Uccle's mayor at the time, André Deridder. Finally, in 2013, when Léopold took up playing their first team football at Stade Fallon in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe - becoming R Léopold FC Uccle-Woluwe -, the club abandoned the now superfluous Stade Deridder. At that point, a relatively young other club from Uccle, FC Moreda d'Uccle (founded in 2005), were allowed to take over the premises. In 2015, Moreda absorbed another club, Agrupacion Oviedo-Asturiana (who used to play their football at Bon Air's Stade Jean Rousseau) without changing their name as a result. Apart from hosting FCM Uccle's teams, the ground is also home to several recreational clubs, including ABSSA team Royal Idéal Rangers Ucclois, of which I attended a match.
