16 IV 2022 / RAC Saint-Mard - RES Aubange 5-3 / Belgian Luxembourg, Provincial League 1 (= BE level 6)

Note 1: Athletic Club Saint-Mard, founded in 1941 (matricule 3203, obtaining the royal epithet in 1991), initially played their football at Stade Solumont, occupied nowadays by Virton's golf club. In approximately 1989 (exact year to be confirmed), the club moved into the Stade des Fusillés, a municipal sports complex with an athletics track surrounding the football pitch. In 2010-11, when Saint-Mard's omnipotent club president Pierre Friob was an alderman in Virton's town council, the more modest first clubhouse was replaced with a giant, new covered stand.
