9 V 2026 / FC Torino Grâce-Hollogne Veterans - UM Jemeppe Veterans 8-2 / ALFA Veterans, Division d'Honneur
Timeline
- 1964 / Foundation of a recreational football club in the village of Bierset, to the west of the Greater Liège agglomeration; after an initial, very short spell of no more than a couple of months on a pasture to the west of the village, the newly founded FC Bierset settles on the newly laid-out Stade Robert Beelen, named after the then mayor of Bierset. FC Bierset plays its football in the Liège sub-branch of the so-called Royale Ligue Belge de Football Amateur (RLBFA).
- 2001 / As the RLBFA is wound up, FC Bierset makes the leap to the successor of the nationwide association in Liège, the so-called Association Liégeoise du Football Amateur (ALFA).
- 2011 / The first team of FC Bierset conquers the title in ALFA Sunday Division 2, thus gaining promotion to Division 1, i.e. the second tier of the ALFA Sunday pyramid.
- 2014 / FC Bierset conquers Liège's Provincial Cup for ALFA teams. That same year, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, the club acquires the royal epithet, thus officially becoming Royal Football Club (RFC) Bierset.
- 2015 / Having gained promotion from ALFA Sunday Division 1 to Division d'Honneur in one of the previous three seasons, RFC Bierset now goes on to crown itself champions in ALFA Sunday Division d'Honneur, while also gaining the ALFA Provincial Cup for the second time in a row.
- 2024 / RFC Bierset, meanwhile down to having just one team, playing in the ALFA veterans' competition on Saturday afternoons, ceases its activities midway through the 2024-25 season, in December 2024 or January 2025.
- 2025 / FC Torino Grâce-Hollogne, another veterans' team, who were forced out of their historic Stade Torino in Grâce-Berleur by the Grâce-Hollogne town council in February 2025, move into the Stade Robert Beelen in Bierset, vacated due to the winding up of RFC Bierset mere weeks before.
