The Koninklijke Sportkring Ronse is a Belgian football club from Ronse .
history
The club emerged in 1987 from the merger of two football clubs based in Ronse.
On July 7, 1907, the Association Sportive Ronse was founded, a year later the Football Club Ronse. Both clubs joined the Union Belge des Sociétés de Sports Athlétiques , the Belgian football association, in September 1909 .
1923 AS Ronse rose for the first time in the second division, where the club could hold until 1926. When the single-track second division was introduced, the third division had to be started as tenth in the table. In 1928 the return succeeded, but the team finished with only two successes this season, beaten last, and returned to the third division.
In 1931, the local rival, who had changed his name from FC Ronse to Club Ronse in 1923, reached the second division, which was played on two tracks again. When in 1933 both clubs were given the right to the attribute "Koninklijk" - royal - the Club Ronse was renamed KFC Ronse. In 1936, the team finished second in Division B of the second division, tied with newly promoted ARA La Gantoise . In 1937 there was the first duel between the local rivals in the second division. AS ended the season fifth in the table, just ahead of the KFC.
The war ended the league operations in 1940 and after the end of the war a dry spell began for the two clubs, which for a long time led to national insignificance. In the season 1958/59, the KFC briefly returned to the second division, but had to be relegated one point behind RFC Seraing as the penultimate.
In 1987 the two clubs decided to join forces and merged. In 2001, the club returned to the second division and managed to stay in the league as 14th. There the club established itself straight away with places in the midfield.
