Timeline
- ± 1979 / Foundation of a recreational football club in Maubray, a village in the Province of Hainaut, situated halfway between Tournay (Tournai, Doornik) and Péruwelz, with the new club being given the name Jeunesse Union Sportive (JUS) Maubray and Serge Durieux becoming its first chairman. The new club settles on a makeshift pitch laid out on a plot of land owned by a local smallholder, referred to locally as the Prairie de la Ferme de Morlies.
- 1980 / JUS Maubray joins the Tournay-based recreational football association Entente Terrienne.
- 1981 / Moving away from its initial pitch at the Ferme de Morlies, JUS Maubray settles on a newly laid-out pitch on a plot of land owned by Joseph Defoort at Rue des Français in the hamlet of Bouchegnies just north of Maubray proper, alongside the Mons-Tournay motorway. The new ground is inaugurated ahead of the 1981-82 season, in August 1981.
