Belgium, province: Hainaut = Henegouwen
5 VIII 2025 / JS Aiseau-Presles - FC Espoir Tarciennois 6-3 / Pre-season friendly
Timeline
- 1950 / Foundation of a football club in Pont-de-Loup, a village on the eastern outskirts of Greater Charleroi, near the provincial border of Hainaut with Namur. The new club, which is given the name FC Pont-de-Loup, acquires registration number 5438 upon joining the Belgian Football Association. Most probably, this club played its football at Stade Camil Lebrun at Rue des Monts from the outset. The pitch is laid out on the pastures of a smallholder, whose name is given to the ground subsequently.
- 1952 / Two years after its foundation, FC Pont-de-Loup becomes a competitive club, being placed in the bottom division of Hainaut’s provincial leagues at that time, Provincial League 3.
- 1961 / After nine rather anonymous seasons in Provincial League 3, FC Pont-de-Loup changes its name to become FC Roselies. No doubt, this name change also entailed a move of the club away from Pont-de-Loup to the neighbouring village of Roselies. Possibly, the new club settled on the pitch at Rue des Français in Roselies, but no information is available on this matter. Furthermore, it is unclear what became of Stade Camil Lebrun in the following years. Possibly, the pitch was used by recreational clubs.
- 1968 / Registration number 5438 undergoes a second name change; after FC Pont-de-Loup became FC Roselies in 1961, the club now takes on the name FC Aiseau, moving to a pitch at Rue d’Oignies in Oignies, a hamlet of Aiseau. Significantly, this name change and move occurred one year after the foundation of the rivalling provincial league club JS Roselies, which plays its football at Rue de la Praile.
- 1972 / Foundation of a new provincial league club in Pont-de-Loup, which takes on the name Standard Club (SC) de Pont-de-Loup, acquiring registration number 7823 upon joining the Belgian FA.

- 1977 / In spite of finishing in a safe eleventh place in Hainaut’s Provincial League 3C, SC Pont-de-Loup is retrograded to Provincial League 4 – possibly as a punishment for misconduct on or off the pitch? – along with bottom club US Piéton.

First team football is played at Rue d’Oignies in Oignies, while Stade Camil Lebrun in Pont-de-Loup is retained for lower team football and training purposes.
- 1995 / Probably coinciding with FC Pont-de-Loup-Aiseau abandoning their youth academy ground in Pont-de-Loup, a new club is founded at Stade Camil Lebrun: Sporting Pont-de-Loup, which acquires registration number 9278 upon being accepted as a new member club of the Belgian FA.
