Royale Union Tubize Braine-le-Comte, also known as Royale Union Tubize-Braine, Tubize-Braine, or RUTB, is a Belgian football club based in the cities of Tubize and Braine-le-Comte. The team is set to play in Belgian National Division 1 from 2024–25, third tier of Belgian football after promotion from Belgian Division 2 in 2023–24.
History
[edit]The club was founded in 1990 as A.F.C. Tubize, the result of the merger of F.C. Tubize and Amis Réunis de Tubize. A.F.C. Tubize was last promoted to the Belgian First Division in 2008, being relegated back in 2009. In 2021, the club merged with neighboring Stade Brainois, from Braine-le-Comte, to form Royale Union Tubize Braine-le-Comte, which involved a new logo and a change of colors, from blood red and gold to white and gold.
In 2023–24, Tubize-Braine secured promotion to Belgian Division 1 for the next season after finishing third place in Belgian Division 2.
