About RFC Liège

RFC Liège is a historic Belgian football club based in the city of Liège, founded in 1892. It is one of the oldest clubs in Belgium and holds matricule number 4, meaning it was among the first clubs registered with the Belgian Football Association. The club is traditionally known as “Les Sang et Marine” (The Blood and Navy) and plays its home matches at Stade de Rocourt.

The club is famous for being the first-ever Belgian champion, winning the inaugural national title in 1896, and it has won a total of five Belgian league titles in its history. Its strongest periods came in the early years and again in the 1950s, when it secured back-to-back championships in 1952 and 1953. RFC Liège is also historically significant for its long presence in Belgian national competitions and its strong tradition of developing local players.

Beyond sporting achievements, RFC Liège is also known in European football history due to its role in the Bosman ruling case in 1990, which led to major changes in transfer rules across Europe. In modern times, the club has experienced financial difficulties and lower-league spells, but it remains an important traditional name in Belgian football and currently competes in the Challenger Pro League.
