Belgium, province: Liège = Luik
31 VIII 2025 / R Charneux FC B - Entente Jeunesse Fléron B 0-0 / Liège, Provincial League 4E (= BE level 9)
Timeline
- 1973 / Foundation of Charneux FC as a recreational club. In the first year of its existence, the club sticks to playing friendlies against teams from surrounding villages. The club disposes of just one pitch, situated at Cour Beaupré. A small clubhouse is constructed, situated on the northern end of the pitch.
- 1974 / Applying for membership of the Belgian Football Association, Charneux FC obtains registration number 8152 and is placed in Liège's Provincial League 4.
- 1987 / Having played in Provincial League 4 for the past 13 seasons, Charneux FC manages a first promotion to Provincial League 3. It is unclear how long the club managed to stay at that level, but a relegation back to the bottom division must have occurred some time between 1988 and 1994.
- 1995 / Charneux FC wins promotion to Provincial League 3 for the 2nd time in club history; also in this case, it is unclear how long the club stayed up at this level, but relegation must have taken place some time between 1996 and 2002. Also in 1995, in a major renovation of Terrain du Cour Beaupré, a start is made on building a new clubhouse on the western end of the main pitch. As this temporarily renders the pitch unusable, an emergency pitch is laid out at the northern end of the old clubhouse, while the club is given the luxury of a training pitch (current terrain 3) to the south of the main pitch.
- 1996 / In June 1996, the new clubhouse is inaugurated, as well as a new B pitch on its western end . With the emergency pitch being given up, the ground now consists of two pitches suitable for matches as well as one training pitch.
- 2003 / Charneux FC wins promotion to Provincial League 3 for the 3rd time.
- 2010 / In Provincial League 3C, Charneux FC manages a respectable 4th place.
- 2014 / In a repeat of the 2009-10 season, Charneux FC finishes in 4th place in Provincial League 3C. Qualifying for the promotion play-offs, the club reaches the final, which it loses after a penalty shoot-out in an away match at SFC Saive. Charneux FC never came closer to promotion to Provincial League 2, a level which was never reached by the club either before or afterwards.
- ± 2018 / At Terrain du Cour Beaupré, Charneux FC moves its first team football from terrain 1 to terrain 2, which is situated on a hillside - and hence less vulnerable to flooding.
