Timeline

• 1959 / Foundation of Entente Régionale Football Club (ERFC) Manhay, which is accepted as new Belgian FA member under registration number 6224. The club plays its home matches on a pitch situated halfway between Manhay and Chêne-al-Pierre, later moving to Terrain Julien Lacasse at Vieux Chemin de la Vaux (c. 1962) and later still to its current ground, Stade Georges Huet (c. 1974). It is clear the club never played its first team football at the ground pictured below, which bears a sign of the Belgian Railway Service at the entrance. Most probably, it must have been used as a training ground from a given point in time onwards.
• 2017 / ERFC Manhay merges with R Olympic Harre, resulting in the foundation of Royale Entente Sportive (RES) Harre-Manhay, which retains Harre's registration number 3296. In spite of the club having Stade Georges Huet and the pitches in Harre to its disposal, the pitch at Voie de la Libération seems to have remained in use since.
