Timeline
  • 1941 / Foundation of Forrières Football Club (FC). Upon joining Belgium's Football Association, the club obtains matricule 3433.
  • 1953 / Clinching the title in Belgian Luxembourg's Provincial League 3C, Forrières FC accedes to Provincial League 2 for the first time, holding its own at that level for two seasons before tumbling back. In all, in the course of its history, the club manages a total of 12 seasons in P2, subdivided in five spells (1953-55, 1957-59, 1972-73, 1983-89, and 1992-93) which all end with relegation to Provincial League 3, the lowest level of Belgian Luxembourg's local divisions.
  • 1992 / Forrières FC becomes a Société Royale, adapting its name to become Royal Forrières Football Club.
  • 2013 / Due to the club being unable to pay its outstanding debts at the Belgian FA, R Forrières FC's membership is withdrawn - and the club folds. The pitches at Rue des Alliés are taken over by RSC Nassogne, using them for lower team football and training purposes.
  • 2022 / RSC Nassogne abandons the premises at Rue des Alliés.
  • 2025 / The first pitch at Rue des Alliés is laid out anew, with RSC Nassogné B team playing its home matches at the ground from the summer of 2025 onwards. That same year, Union Rochefortoise also started making use of the ground for the training sessions of its first team.
