Merger
Early 2023 it became known that Solières Sport and Huy would merge to become Union Hutoise. At that time Solières was playing in the 2022–23 Belgian Division 2, but as the club did not manage to avoid relegation, resulting in both feeder clubs playing in the Belgian Division 3, the new club started in the 2023–24 Belgian Division 3. As a result, an extra team was promoted from ACFF side to fill the gap.[1]
