The club was founded in 1924 as C.S. Visétois and received the matricule number 369 from the Belgian Football Association. Their first spell in national football was in 1948–49, and they remained at this level for two consecutive seasons. Starting from the 1960s, the club played several seasons in the Belgian Promotion again, each decade until the 1990s. In 1996, they finally reached the third division, by winning their series in promotion (serie C). In July 1994, they achieved their best result in the Belgian Cup by reaching the round of 32, to lose to rivals Standard Liège. In 1998, they were promoted to the second division via the promotion playoff.
