**Royal Cercle Sportif La Forestoise** was a [Belgian](/source/Belgium) [football club](/source/Football_club) from the municipality of [Forest](/source/Forest%2C_Belgium), [Brussels](/source/Brussels). It was founded in 1909 and received the [matricule](/source/Matricule) n°51 following its registration to the [FA](/source/Belgian_Football_Association) in 1911. The club first reached the [first division](/source/Belgian_First_Division_A) in 1926 but it was yet too weak to survive at that level and was back in the [second division](/source/Belgian_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](/source/World_War_II)). The Green and White achieved their best ranking in 1944 with a 10th position.

In 1996 it merged with [Royal Uccle Léopold](/source/R._L%C3%A9opold_Uccle_Forestoise) to become Royal Léopold Uccle Forestoise and the matricule n°51 was consequently erased.
