Stade Communal de Jette / Gemeentestadion Jette "Complexe Expo", Brussels = Bruxelles = Brussel Jette (R Scup Dieleghem Jette & FC Amicii Bruxelles Jette, formerly R SCUP Jette / Racing Club de Jette / BX Brussels)

Belgium, Brussels Capital Area

21 III 2010 / RSD Jette - K Hoger Op Stade Bierbeek 2-0 / Brabant, Provincial League 1 (= BE level 5)

1 XII 2013 / BX Brussels - KFC Sporting Sint-Gillis-Waas 1-1 / National League 4B (= BE level 4)

Note 1: From 1957 onwards - probably the year of in inauguration of the ground -, the Stade Communal de Jette - often referred to colloquially as the 'Complexe Expo' - was used by R SCUP Jette (matricule 474 - SCUP = Sporting Club Union et Progrès). On several Internet sources, mention is made of Racing Club de Jette (matricule 4549) being groundsharers with SCUP, but this information is incorrect; RC Jette had their own ground at Dieleghemdreef until their merger with R Stade de Bruxelles in 1970, becoming Racing Jet de Bruxelles and moving to the Annexe Heysel in Laeken. In 2002, R SCUP Jette, for its part, also concluded a merger, with Etoile Dieleghem Jette, a club probably playing at Complexe Heymbosch in Jette's Dieleghempark. The newly formed club, R Scup Dieleghem (RSD) Jette, has since played its first team football at the Stade Communal, while Complexe Heymbosch remained in use for lower team football - this ground being shared with Ritterklub VSV Jette since 2014. In October 2013, Vincent Kompany's new club BX Brussels settled down at Complexe Expo after playing their first games of the 2013-14 season at Complexe Hunderenveld in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe. Groundsharing with RSD Jette, BX played their first team football in Jette for seven seasons (2013-14, 2015-21), with an interruption of one year at Complexe Sportif du Bempt in Forest. Finally, in 2021, BX Brussels moved their first team to their youth academy at Complexe La Roue in Anderlecht. As groundsharers, they were replaced by FC Amicii Bruxelles Jette, who had played their football at Complexe Expo's first side pitch for the two previous seasons. The official capacity of the ground is given as 10,000.
