Timeline
  • 1971 / Foundation of Sporting Club (SC) Vallois, which joins Belgium's Football Association under matricule 7652. The club's ground is situated at Vieux Chemin de Mons in Vaulx-lez-Tournay.
  • 1972 / SC Vallois takes part in Hainaut's Provincial League 4 for the first time. In the twenty-four following years of its existence, the club never manages to climb out of the bottom division.
  • 1996 / SC Vallois folds, ceasing all activities. The club's ground at Vieux Chemin de Mons may have been out of use for several seasons - or taken over by a recreational team.
  • ± 2002 / At some point in or after 2002, the premises are taken over by RFC Tournai's female branch, who played their football at the ground - renamed Stade Philippe Rasseneur in those years in honour of RFC Tournai's president - until 2012. 
  • 2012 / AS RFC Tournai's women's team abandons Stade Philippe Rasseneur, the ground is left to its own devices for one season, with the clubhouse being inhabited by a squatter. 
  • 2013 / Stade Philippe Rasseneur is taken over by FC Vétérans Vaulx, a longtime recreational club who had acceded to the provincial league pyramid in 2010 (matricule 9554). This club, with their own Plaine de la Trondeloire at a mere stone's throw away from SC Vallois' former ground, uses the extra pitch for lower team football and training sessions. In the following years, FC Vétérans Vaulx changed their name to become FC Vaulx (2014-16), RUS Tournai (2016-20), RUS Tournai-Warcoing (following a merger with OC Warcoing, 2020-22), and RUS Tournaisienne (2022), but the club has continued to use the Stade Philippe Rasseneur as its B ground ever since.
