Timeline

• 1922 / Foundation of a football club in Haine-Saint-Pierre: Union Sportive (US) du Centre. The club settled on a pitch laid out at Rue de la Hestre, i.e. the exact location of the modern-day Stade Raymond Dienne.
• 1926 / At the introduction of the matricule system in Belgium's Football Association, US Centre obtains matricule 213.
• 1927 / A first stand is erected alongside the pitch at Rue de la Hestre.
• 1931 / The club manages a first promotion to the national leagues.
• 1937 / US Centre has the best season in its history, finishing second in the second tier of the pyramid.
• 1953 / After 22 years in the national divisions, the club falls back to Hainaut's Provincial League 1.
• 1954 / Back in National Division 4 after one year, US du Centre enjoys a spell of ten more years of national league football, with two seasons in 'D3' (1959-61) being in the highlight.
• 1965 / Another promotion to National Division 4, but the club maintains itself for no longer than a single season.
• 1975 / Union Sportive du Centre becomes a Société Royale, thus undergoing a name change to become Union Royale Sportive (URS) du Centre.
• 1976 / After ten years in Hainaut's Provincial Leagues, URS Centre is back in D4, falling back after two seasons - but returning in 1980, with a longer spell in the fourth tier of the league pyramid lasting until 1988.
• 1982 / With works being undertaken on the railroad at the southern side of the main pitch of the ground at Rue de la Hestre, URS Centre moves its first team football to the Stade Communal du Tivoli, the stadium of RAA Louviéroise, temporarily. Training sessions are held in Fayt-lez-Manage.
• 1983 / After one season in exile at the Stade Communal du Tivoli in La Louvière, URS Centre returns to its stadium at Rue de la Hestre.
• 1992 / With serious works having been carried out at the stadium at Rue de la Hestre, involving the construction of a new main stand and a panoramic canteen, the ground is officially renamed Stade Raymond Dienne, Raymond Dienne being one of the founding members of the club and longtime president (1947-1989); in fact, Dienne passed away shortly after the ground had been renamed in his honour.
• 2001 / After an absence of 13 years, URS Centre manages a sixth return to the national divisions. 
• 2007 / The club moves its first team football to La Louvière's Stade Communal du Tivoli, with Stade Raymond Dienne remaining in use for lower team football and training purposes.
• 2008 / URS Centre wins promotion to National Division 3, appearing at that level for the first time in 47 years.
• 2011 / URS du Centre changes its name to become Union Royale (UR) La Louvière Centre, thus staking its claim to the large fan following of the former RAA Louviéroise. First team football continues to be played in La Louvière rather than in Haine-Saint-Pierre.
• 2012 / On December 1st, 2012, National Division 4 side FC Charleroi plays one of its homet matches at Stade Raymond Dienne due to floodlight failure at its home ground, Stade de la Neuville in Montignies-sur-Sambre.
• 2013 / Upon winning promotion to the national leagues, Royale Jeunesse Entente (RJE) Binchoise from Leval-Trahegnies moves its first team football to Stade Raymond Dienne for an entire season - an involuntary move, due to the fact that its own Stade Domenico Schena does not have the correct measurements for national league football. After amendments to the ground in Leval, the club abandons Stade Dienne in the summer of 2014.
• 2015 / While their own ground at Rue des Arbalestriers was undergoing renovation works between August and November 2015, AC Le Rœulx temporarily moved its first team football to Stade Raymond Dienne. 
• 2020 / Still doing rather well in the national divisions - though more and more deprived of supporters, certainly after the foundation of RAAL La Louvière in 2017 - UR La Louvière Centre simplifies its name to La Louvière Centre. First team football is still taking place in La Louvière, but Stade Raymond Dienne has steadily remained in use for lower teams and training sessions.
• 2022 / Provincial League 2 side Athènes Sport (AS) Ressaix (registration number 9555), which had been without a ground of its own since being expelled from their Stade Fernand Blairon in 2019 - having been groundsharers with R Jeunesse Entente Binchoise at that club's B ground, Stade Domenico Schena in Leval-Trahegnies - now moves into Stade Raymond Dienne. 
• 2024 / First team football of AS Ressaix is officially moved to the synthetic side pitch of Stade Raymond Dienne, a pitch which had already been used by the Provincial League 2 side for matches regularly in the past two years.
• 2025 / With Stade Tivoli being abandoned by RAAL La Louvière as well as La Louvière Centre, the latter club, freshly relegated from ACFF Amateur Division 2 to Division 3, i.e. the fifth tier of Belgium's football pyramid, moves its first team football (back) to Stade Raymond Dienne. Meanwhile, RAAL La Louvière moves into the newly built Stade de l'Avenue Saint-Maur-des-Fossés "Easi Arena". Meanwhile, AS Ressaix, still playing at the synthetic side pitch of Stade Raymond Dienne, officially changes its name to become Athènes Haine Saint-Pierre. 
• 2026 / Finishing in fifth place in ACFF Amateur Division 3, La Louvière Centre qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club knocks out R Stade Waremmien FC in R1 (4-2), only to stumble over RU Momalloise in R2 (semifinal: 1-2). Subsequently, La Lou Centre has to play a match for third place in the play-offs, in case extra promotion places turn out to be available, with the club managing a, pointless, win (1-3) against RSC Verlaine. For the 2026-27 season, La Louvière Centre was due to take on a new name, Union Sportive (US) Centre La Louvière, but finding itself caught up in a conflict with municipal authorities of La Louvière over the rent of the Stade Raymond Dienne, the club sees its membership of the Belgian FA rescinded due to not disposing of a ground - although attempts were made to conclude a groundsharing deal with RCS Nivellois in faraway Walloon Brabant. Meanwhile, the Stade Raymond Dienne is taken over by a newly founded club, Union Sportive (US) Centre Haine-Saint-Pierre, which joins the Belgian FA under registration number 9859 - and taking over all youth teams of La Louvière Centre. Registration number 213 of the former URS Centre, UR La Louvière Centre, and La Louvière Centre is officially erased.
