F.C. Brussels is a Belgian football club based in the municipality of Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels. It has been in the Jupiler League since 2004-05. It resulted from the 2003 fusion between R.W.D. Molenbeek and K.F.C. Strombeek, and the new club kept the matricule n°1936 of the latter club. Although by doing this it lost the honours of the RWDM, the rest of the club is composed of the remainders of the RWDM.

History

F.C. Strombeek did register to the Belgian Football Association in 1932. It won the third division in 2000 and finished 10th in the second division the next year. In 2002 and 2003 Strombeek ended at 9th place. The club then merged with the RWDM that was just refused its license for the first division. The new club won the second division that season under the coaching of Harm van Veldhoven but the manager was eventually fired in the summer. The new coach Emilio Ferrera made a bad start with the team at the highest level and was thus replaced by former Belgium manager Robert Waseige. He managed to ensure the 15th place but resigned afterwards. The chairman Johan Vermeersch then hired Frenchman Albert Cartier for the 2005-06 season.
