Note: FC Vétérans Vallois saw the daylight in 1973 as a recreational club in the village of Vaulx, on the eastern outskirts of Tournay. While FC Vétérans Vallois took part in Tournay's Corporatist League, there also was a club in Vaulx taking part in the regular provincial leagues, SC Vallois (matricule 7652), which folded in 1996. In 1989, FC Vétérans Vallois settled down at the new, purpose-built Plaine de la Trondeloire, at a mere stone's throw away from SC Vallois's ground at Vieux Chemin de Mons. When Tournay's Corporatist League ceased all activities in 2010, FC Vétérans Vallois decided to make the leap to the provincial league pyramid, seeking affiliation to the Royal Belgian Football Association and obtaining matricule 9554 under a slightly adapted name, FC Vétérans Vaulx. In 2014, the club name was changed again to become FC Vaulx, while, two years later, it became the vehicle in an attempt to revive the days of the former Royale Union Sportive (RUS) Tournaisienne, the club who played at the mythical Stade Magdeleine Lefebvre and who merged with RRC Tournaisienne in 2002 to become RFC Tournai - and FC Vaulx became Renouveau Union Sportive (RUS!) de Tournai. Plans were cherished to somehow return to Tournay proper, and, in 2018-19, the club took over Stade Prior in the western part of town, but mainly because the premises there were vandalised continually, all schemes came to naught. In 2020, Renouveau US Tournai merged with Olympic Club (OC) Warcoing, becoming RUS Tournai-Warcoing, retaining Warcoing's matricule 8265. While the new merger club were planning to play their first team football at Warcoing's Stade Léon Velge, permission was not granted by the town council of Pecq, the community to which Warcoing belongs - instead, the premises were awarded to AS Obigies, who have since used these for lower team football and training purposes. RUS Tournai-Warcoing - predictably changing their name back to RUS Tournai in the summer of 2022 - have continued to use the Plaine de la Trondeloire for their first team, while, from 2013 onwards, lower team football and training sessions have taken place at SC Vallois' former ground, the Stade Philippe Rasseneur.
