The club was founded in 1922 as
R.C. Péruwelz and received the
matricule number 216 from the
Belgian Football Association. The club first reached the national level in 1936 (called Promotion at the time, but corresponding to the
third level overall in Belgian football), to be relegated the next year to the
Belgian Provincial leagues. In 1972 the club received the royal prefix. After a couple of seasons at the lowest level of Belgian football, between 1995 and 1997, they reached the national level once again in 2004. Two years later, Péruwelz were promoted to the third division where they stayed until merged with
R.E. Mouscron in 2010 becoming
Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz. They currently play in the
Belgian Pro League (its top tier debut, after winning the 2014 promotion play-offs as a Second Division club). ==External links==
