Belgium, province: Namur = Namen
14 XII 2025 / RAC Leuze-Longchamps U17 - RUS Biesme U17 1-0 / Friendly
Timeline
- 1917 / Foundation of Albert Club (AC) Leuze, renamed AC Leuze-Longchamps in 1924, a football club in the village of Leuze in Namur - not to be confused with the town of Leuze in Hainaut. The club is accorded registration number 413 upon the introduction of the numbers' system by Belgium's Football Association in December 1926.
- 1972 / Foundation of a football club in Taviers, a village near Leuze, which takes on the name Jeunesse Taviétoise (registration number 7780).
- 2018 / In a combined effort by RAC Leuze-Longchamps and Jeunesse Taviétoise, the two clubs convince the municipal authorities of Eghezée to construct them a shared youth academy ground halfway between Longchamps and Leuze. A clubhouse is constructed following a design by the L'Equerre architectural firm. The new ground, Centre Sportif de Semrée, is inaugurated on August 25th, 2018, in the presence of Eghezée mayor Dominique Van Roy and Walloon Minister for Sports Affairs, Valérie Debue. Originally, JS Eghezée was to participate in the joint venture, but this club had second thoughts, eventually staying out of it altogether. RAC Leuze-Longchamps and Jeunesse Taviétoise are not allowed to play first team football on the municipal sports ground, instead continuing to use their respective grounds at Rue des Keutures (Leuze) and Route de la Hesbaye (Taviers). Although the joint youth academy venture between the two clubs is known under the name Entente Hesbignonne, they have continued to field separate youth teams until the present day.
