Timeline
  • 1939 / Foundation of a football club in Frasnes-lez-Couvin, which takes on the name Sporting Club (SC) Frasnien, joining Belgium’s Football Federation (URBSFA / KBVB), obtaining registration number 2803 upon being accepted as new member club. It is unclear where the pitch of this first SC Frasnien was situated. At this stage, there is no talk of a football club in the neighbouring village of Petigny yet.
  • 1947 / After an existence of eight years, SC Frasnien folds, ceasing all activities. Registration number 2803 is erased from the Belgian FA’s official lists.
  • 1966 / In 1966, football clubs are founded in Petigny as well as in Frasnes-lez-Couvin. In Petigny, Entente Sportive (ES) Petigny joins Belgium’s FA, obtaining registration number 6910; the club settles on a pitch situated at Rue de Monts. Meanwhile, in Frasnes-lez-Couvin, a phoenix version of SC Frasnien is created, with the club acquiring registration number 6929 upon being accepted as Belgian FA member. It is unclear if this new SC Frasnien played at the ground situated at Rue de l’Adujoir from the outset.
  • 1997 / After both clubs having had an independent existence of 31 years, in which they never rose to a level higher than Namur’s Provincial League 2, a merger is concluded between ES Petigny and SC Frasnien, resulting in the foundation of Entente Sportive (ES) Petigny-Frasnes, with ES Petigny’s registration number 6910 being retained. First team football moves to Petigny’s Terrain de la Rue des Monts. SC Frasnien’s pitch at Rue de l’Adujoir remains in use for lower team football and training purposes.
  • ± 1999 / ES Petigny-Frasnes abandons SC Frasnien's former pitch at Rue de l'Adujoir, with all activities moving to Rue des Monts in Petigny.
  • 2002 / SC Frasnien’s ground at Rue de l’Adujoir is taken over by Athlétic Club Couvinois (ACCO).
