Wikipedia - Daring Brussels
Daring Brussels is a Belgian professional football club based in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, a municipality of Brussels. The team competes in the Challenger Pro League, the second tier of the Belgian football league system.
The club was previously known as Racing White Daring Molenbeek (RWDM) until June 2025, when it rebranded to one of its historic names and formally reclaimed matricule 2, originally assigned to the now-defunct Daring Club de Bruxelles, founded in 1895. While the present-day club was founded in the 21st century, it identifies itself with the legacy of several predecessor entities, including Racing White, RWD Molenbeek (1973–2002), and the original Daring club.
Daring Brussels play their home matches at the Edmond Machtens Stadium, wear red, black and white as their traditional colours, and incorporate gold detailing in their crest as a reference to early club heritage.
History
The club was founded in 2015, Standard Wetteren had folded that year and merged with another club, liberating its which was sold to people wanting to revive the former RWDM with matricule 47 which folded in 2002. As such the new club was named RWDM47.
The club quickly rose through the ranks, winning two consecutive promotions from the fifth to the third tier. In December 2021, the club announced that it had come under the ownership of American business executive John Textor, who also holds stakes in English side Crystal Palace, Brazilian side Botafogo and French side Lyon.
RWDM's academy is considered one of the best in Belgium, and many footballers have come from there, notably Adnan Januzaj and Michy Batshuayi to name a few Belgian internationals as well as a few internationals for other countries.
On 13 May 2023, RWDM secured promotion to the Belgian Pro League by winning the Challenger Pro League title in a narrow 1–0 victory over RSCA Futures, with Mickaël Biron scoring the winning goal. They went straight back down at the end of their first season back in the top flight and the following season narrowly missed out on promotion, wasting a strong lead with just two games to go and eventually ending just short of automatic promotion.
On 5 June 2025, the club announced that it would adopt a new name, an initiative proposed by its American owner, John Textor. Effective 1 July 2025, the club would be known as Daring Brussels, a reference to the legacy of the historic Daring Club de Bruxelles, originally founded in 1895. As part of the rebranding, the club planned to adopt a new logo and assume registration number 2. The official club colours were revised to include red, white, black, and gold. The decision provoked significant backlash from supporters of RWDM, many of whom expressed strong attachment to the traditional name and the original red, white, and black colour scheme. The rebranding also drew criticism from the municipality of Molenbeek, which had previously granted the club free use of the Edmond Machtens Stadium on the condition that the name "Molenbeek" be retained.
The team's colors are traditionally white and blue, symbolizing their identity and pride within the local community. RWD Molenbeek has experienced various ups and downs throughout its history, including periods in the top tier of Belgian football, as well as challenges that have seen them compete in lower divisions.
The club is known for its commitment to developing young talent and fostering a strong connection with the local community, often engaging in initiatives that promote youth participation in sports. RWD Molenbeek's supporters are known for their unwavering loyalty, creating a strong sense of camaraderie and pride in the team's achievements.
In recent years, RWD Molenbeek has been focused on rebuilding and striving for success in Belgian football, aiming to return to the top levels of competition. With a blend of experienced players and emerging talent, the club is determined to make its mark in the Belgian Pro League and beyond.
