BELGIUM: RCS La Forestoise (1951-1996) / RAS Maccabi Bruxelles (±1996-2008) / RAS Maccabi Bruxelles (B) (± 2008-2010) / Maccabi Brussels (B) (2010-2015)

Stade Adrien Bertelson, Vorst = Forest (formerly RCS La Forestoise, RAS Maccabi Bruxelles & Maccabi Brussels)

Belgium, Brussels Capital Area

15 III 2009 / RAS Maccabi Bruxelles B - ROFC Stockel B 0-2 / Brabant, Provincial League 4E (= BE level 8)

Note: The football pitch of the new Stade Adrien Bertelson, named after Forest's former town councillor for sports, was in use from 1951 onwards, whilst the athletics track was inaugurated with a solemn ceremony six years later. Apart from hosting RCS La Forestoise's home matches, this stadium, with a capacity of 18.400 (400 seated), also served as the training ground for Belgium's national team selection for many years. Colloquially, the Stade Adrien Bertelson was also referred to as the Wijngaardveld or Vorst-Nationaal. After the demise of La Forestoise in 1996, RAS Maccabi Bruxelles moved into the ground - and later its successor club Maccabi Brussels, though from some stage onwards (ca. 2008) first team football was played at Complexe Sportif du Bempt on the eastern outskirts of Vorst.
