Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, a name that resonates with history and tradition in Belgian football, was founded in 1897 in the municipality of Saint-Gilles, Brussels. Since 1920, its home has been the Stade Joseph Marien, a venue with a particular charm located in neighbouring Forest. The club, identified by matricule number 10 and the colours yellow and blue, is a revered institution, especially for its golden era before World War II, during which it conquered eleven Belgian championships, establishing itself as a football powerhouse.
Between 1933 and 1935, the team achieved an unbeaten streak of 60 league matches, a national record that still stands and earned them the nickname 'Union 60'. After decades of absence from the top flight, even dropping to the fourth division, Union SG has experienced an astonishing revival in the 21st century. Their return to the Belgian Pro League in 2021, after 48 years, marked the beginning of a new successful chapter, competing for titles and participating in European competitions, rekindling the passion of their loyal fanbase and attracting new followers with their fighting spirit and unparalleled stadium atmosphere.
One month after winning the title, the club is launching a 30-minute film about its historic championship season. The film will be shown at Union Plage and will be available for free on the DAZN app.
The Belgian champions will begin their title defense away to Royal Antwerp FC at the Bosuilstadion on Friday, July 25 at 8:45 PM. Their first home match will be on Sunday, August 3 against OH Leuven.
