About RCS Verviers

RCS Verviétois (Royal Cercle Sportif Verviétois) was a Belgian football club based in Verviers, Liège province. It was founded in 1896 and is considered one of the oldest clubs in Belgium, carrying the matricule number 8, which reflects its early registration with the Belgian Football Association. The club played its home matches at the Stade Communal de Bielmont and was traditionally known for its green and white colours.

Throughout its long history, RCS Verviétois spent many seasons across all levels of Belgian football. The club reached the Belgian First Division several times in the early and mid-20th century, with its strongest era coming in the 1950s when it competed against top teams like Anderlecht and Standard Liège and even reached the Belgian Cup final in 1956.

After the 1960s, the club gradually declined through the divisions and underwent several mergers and restructurings in an attempt to survive. Despite these efforts, financial problems persisted, and after its final seasons in the lower divisions, RCS Verviétois was dissolved in 2015, ending more than a century of football history in Verviers.
