Timeline

1928 / Foundation of a football club in Jumet, a northern suburb of Charleroi. The new club, which takes on the name Jumet Sport’s Club (SC), acquires registration number 1189 upon being accepted as a new member of the Belgian Football Association (URBSFA / KBVB). Jumet SC’s first pitch is situated at Rue de Bayemont, with the club starting its existence in Hainaut’s Regional League 4.
1954 / Acquiring the royal epithet one year after the club’s 25th anniversary, Jumet SC officially takes on the name Royal Jumet Sport’s Club, or, abbreviated, R Jumet SC.
± 1968 / Moving away from its pitch at Rue de l’Alliance, R Jumet SC settles on a new pitch, laid out at Rue Auguste Delvaux (renamed Stade Danny Labay in 2021).
± 1995 / R Jumet SC acquires the luxury of a second pitch, situated at Sentier de l’Epée, in the immediate vicinity of its main pitch at Rue Auguste Delvaux. This pitch, owned by Charleroi’s municipal authorities, used to be made use of by several recreational football clubs, most notably FC Les Travaux, the club of Charleroi’s municipal workers. For this reason, this pitch was known colloquially as the Terrain des Travaux. When FC Les Travaux folded, alderman Charles Canepa of Charleroi allowed R Jumet SC to use these facilities for their lower team football and training sessions.
