football club based in the municipality ofMolenbeek-Saint-Jean ,Brussels . It has been in theJupiler League since 2004-05. It resulted from the 2003 fusion betweenR.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 ofHarm van Veldhoven but the manager was eventually fired in the summer. The new coachEmilio Ferrera made a bad start with the team at the highest level and was thus replaced by former Belgium managerRobert Waseige . He managed to ensure the 15th place but resigned afterwards. The chairmanJohan Vermeersch then hired FrenchmanAlbert Cartier for the 2005-06 season.Current squad
