Terrein Steenstortstraat, Beringen Baltisch Kamp (Turkse FC)

Belgium, province: Limburg

24 VIII 2024 / Turkse FC - KFC Hamont 99 2-3 / Limburg, Provincial Cup - Region North-West

Timeline

• 1967 / Foundation of a recreational football club for Turkish emigrant workers in Beringen. The new club takes on the name Turkse FC (sometimes spelled Türkse FC), with home matches being played at a municipal sports pitch, Terrein ‘t SAC at Salviastraat in Beringen-Centrum (occupied nowadays by a primary school).
• 1980 / After thirteen years as a recreational football club, Turkse FC joins the official Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB) in the fall of 1980, acquiring registration number 8752 upon being accepted as new member club. 
• 1981 / In its first season as an active Belgian FA member, Turkse FC is placed in the bottom division of Limburg’s provincial leagues, Provincial League 4. At that point, due to Terrein ‘t SAC not being up to KBVB standards, the club commences a groundshare with KVV Vigor Beringen at Terrein Motbemden in Beringen-Centrum.
• ± 1985 / Moving away from their groundshare with KVV Vigor Beringen at Terrein Motbemden, Turkse FC is allowed to move in with K Beringen FC’s youth academy at Steenstortstraat in the Baltisch Kamp neighbourhood on the southeastern outskirts of Beringen.
• 1992 / Having been an also-ran in their first seasons in Provincial League 4 until gradually improving their results in the latter half of the 1980s, Turkse FC ultimately wins the title in P4A in 1992, thus acceding to Provincial League 3 for the first time.
• 1995 / With Turkse FC having made use of the southernmost of the two pitches at Terrein Steenstortstraat in the preceding years, the club is now allowed to move into their proper, eastern corner of the ground, where a new pitch is laid out for them – and where volunteers build a two-tiered clubhouse. 
• 1998 / After six seasons in Provincial League 3, Turkse FC now finishes as runners-up in Provincial League 3A, with the club winning promotion to Provincial League 2 – probably following a successful set of promotion play-offs – for the first time.
• 2002 / K Beringen FC concludes a merger with KVV Vigor Beringen, resulting in the foundation of KVK Beringen, with all activities moving to Vigor’s Terrein Motbemden. As such, Beringen FC no longer requires its youth academy ground at Steenstortstraat – and the two pitches are taken over by Turkse FC, who have since used them for lower team football and training sessions.
• 2008 / Finishing in second-last place in P2A, Turkse FC drops back into Provincial League 3 after ten seasons, along with Red Star Beverlo and bottom club Standard Elen.
• 2009 / Runners-up in P3A, 12 points behind champions KFC Helson Helchteren, Turkse FC fails to win promotion to Provincial League 2 in the subsequent round of play-offs. Also in 2009, a small covered stand is erected at the southern side of the clubhouse at Terrein Steenstortstraat.
• 2010 / Champions in P3B, 10 point ahead of closest rivals K Kaulille FC and Sporting Grote Heide, Turkse FC manages a return to Provincial League 2 after an absence of two seasons.
• 2013 / Finishing in second-last place in P2A, Turkse FC drops back into Provincial League 3 after three seasons, along with Sporting Wijchmaal and bottom club K As VV.
• 2015 / Finishing in third-last place in P3A, Turkse FC has to play a set of relegation play-offs against the clubs in fourteenth place in P3B and P3C, KHO Heide Hasselt and K Kortessemse VV, with the last-mentioned club finishing in last place and being the only one of the three to be retrograded to Provincial League 4.
• 2016 / In a reversal of fortune, after the near-relegation of the previous season, Turkse FC now finishes as runners-up in Provincial League 3A, 10 points behind champions FC Anadol, thus qualifying for the promotion play-offs. In those play-offs, the club successively edges past Godsheide VV (4-4 aggr. & penalty shoot-out), KFC Eksel (2-1 aggr.), and AC Tervant (3-1 aggr.), thus winning promotion to Provincial League 2.
• 2022 / Finishing in third-last place in P2A, Turkse FC has to play a relegation play-off against K Vlijtingen VV, the club which managed the same position in P2B; losing the tie 7-3 on aggregate, Turkse FC is retrograded to Provincial League 3, along with the two clubs finishing below them, Sporting Grote Heide and bottom side KFC Moedige Duivels Halen. 
• 2023 / Champions in Provincial League 3B, 1 point ahead of runners-up KFC Kattenbos Sport, Turkse FC wins promotion to Provincial League 2.
• 2024 / Finishing in fifth place in Provincial League 2B, Turkse FC qualifies for the promotion play-offs. Following successive victories over KHO Heide Hasselt (1-2), KRC Peer (1-3), and K Vlijtingen VV (2-0), the club achieves a second promotion in a row, acceding to Limburg’s Provincial League 1 for the first time in club history.

• 1922 / Foundation of a first football club in Kemexhe, a village to the south of Crisnée. The new club is given the name Union Sportive (US) Kemexhe. US Kemexhe joins Belgium’s Football Association.
• 1924 / US Kemexhe folds, ceasing all activities.
• 1926 / Foundation of a new football club in Kemexhe, which is given the name Kemexhe FC. In December 1926, when the Belgian Football Association introduces its list of registration numbers, Kemexhe FC receives number 692.

CS Thys obtains registration number 1982 upon being accepted as new FA member.
• 1939 / In the summer of 1939, Crisnée Sport and CS Thys both fold, ceasing all activities, probably due to the mobilisation of the Belgian armed forces having depleted both clubs’ pool of potential players. The clubs’ registration numbers 1963 and 1982 are erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists.
• 1941 / After the German occupation of Belgium, a new football club is founded in Kemexhe, which is given the name Jeunesse Sportive (JS) Kemexhe, with the club obtaining registration number 2935 upon joining Belgium’s FA. Later that same year, Chats Sportifs (CS) Thys is re-founded, with the club obtaining a new FA registration number, 3213.
• 1943 / Chats Sportifs Thys changes its name to become Thys Union.
• 1944 / Thys Union changes its name to become Alliance Thys Crisnée in June 1944, with the club reverting to the old Thys Union in December 1944, after the liberation of Belgium.
• 1948 / JS Kemexhe and Thys Union both fold in the early months of 1948, ceasing all activities. Registration number 2935 and 3213 are erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists.
• 1965 / The villages of Kemexhe and Thys, which had been independent municipalities up to this point, are added to the municipality of Crisnée.
• 1967 / Foundation of a recreational football club in Kemexhe, which is given the exact same name as the previous club in the village, Jeunesse Sportive (JS) Kemexhe. The club joins recreational league ALFA (Association Liégeoise du Football Amateur). JS Kemexhe plays its home matches on the pitch situated at Rue Oscar Driesmans from the outset.
• 1986 / After nineteen years of ALFA membership, JS Kemexhe joins the official Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB), obtaining registration number 9035 upon being accepted as new member club. The club is placed in Liège’s Provincial League 4. 
• 1988 / In the club’s second season in Liège’s provincial divisions, JS Kemexhe wins the title in Provincial League 4 (A?), thus winning promotion to Provincial League 3 for the first time. It is unclear how long the club’s first spell at this level lasted – it is clear, though, that the club never managed to reach a higher level than P3 in the first 25 years as a Belgian FA member.
• 2011 / Runners-up in Liège’s Provincial League 4A, 1 point behind champions RFC Jehaytois, JS Kemexhe qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club is eliminated in the first qualifying round by Union Hesbignonne (1-2).
• 2012 / Champions in Liège’s Provincial League 4A, 10 points ahead of closest rivals R Juprelle Union, JS Kemexhe wins promotion to Provincial League 3. In the following season, the club easily holds its own at this level, finishing in seventh place in P3A.
• 2014 / JS Kemexhe changes its name to become JS Kemexhe Crisnée, occasionally abbreviated as JSK Crisnée or even JS Crisnée.
• 2015 / Finishing in fifth place in Provincial League 3A, JS Kemexhe Crisnée qualifies for the promotion play offs, in which the club is eliminated in the first qualifying round by RES Templiers-Nandrin (7-3).
• 2016 / Finishing in third place in P3A, JS Kemexhe Crisnée qualifies for the promotion play-offs, in which the club defeats R Union Flémalle in the first qualifying round (1-0) before being defeated by R Union Momalloise in R2 (1-1 A.E.T. & penalty shoot-out). In a lucky loser play-off, organised due to extra promotion places being available, the club is defeated by FC Union Walhorn (1-0), thus missing out on promotion.
• 2017 / JS Kemexhe Crisnée obtains the royal epithet, thus changing its name to become Royale Jeunesse Sportive (RJS) Kemexhe Crisnée.
• 2022 / Finishing in third place in Liège’s Provincial League 3A, RJS Kemexhe Crisnée qualifies for the promotion play-offs, defeating R Oreye Union in R1 (1-1 & penalty shoot-out) and Solières Sport B in R2 (score unknown), only to suffer defeat in the final at the hands of R Seraing Athlétique FC (1-3).
• 2024 / Champions in Provincial League 3A, 2 points ahead of runners-up Patro Lensois, RJS Kemexhe Crisnée accedes to Provincial League 2 for the first time in club history. Also in 2024, a new ground for the club is laid out at Rue de Hesdre by Crisnée’s municipal authorities, but due to the clubhouse not being erected yet, the official inauguration of the ground as well as the club’s abandoning Terrain de la Rue Oscar Driesmans will probably have to wait until mid-2025.

Timeline

• 1931 / Foundation of a first football club in Weiler-la-Tour, a village in the southeast of Luxembourg. The newly founded club, FC Weiler, does not join Luxembourg’s Football Association (FLF), instead sticking to playing friendly matches against teams from surrounding villages. It is unclear where the pitch used by FC Weiler for home matches was situated.
• 1938 / Due to a lack of players, FC Weiler has to cease its activities – with no refoundation of the club being contemplated during the hardships of World War II, with many Luxembourgers being forced into the German army fighting on the Russian front.
• 1954 / At the instigation of several youngsters from the village, who had to travel several miles to play football at FC Red Boys Aspelt, a new football club is founded in Weiler-la-Tour, which is given the name FC Yellow Boys Weiler-la-Tour. The first chairman is Mathias Seil, while a pitch is laid out for the club which is referred to locally as Terrain Op de Mëssen.

Being placed in Division 3 Série 2, the fifth level of Luxembourg’s league pyramid, the club suffers a 2-6 home defeat in its first regular league match against FC Syra Mensdorf.
