It was founded in 1909 and received the [[matricule]] n°51 following its registration to the [[Belgian Football Association|FA]] in 1911. The club first reached the [[Belgian First Division A|first division]] in 1926 but it was yet too weak to survive at that level and was back in the [[Belgian Second Division|second division]] for the next season.
The best years of the club were the 1940s since it played 4 seasons at the top level (1942 to 1947, missing the 1944–45 season due to [[World War II]]). The Green and White achieved their best ranking in 1944 with a 10th position.
In 1996 it merged with [[R. Léopold Uccle Forestoise|Royal Uccle Léopold]] to become Royal Léopold Uccle Forestoise and the matricule n°51 was consequently erased.
