About

RWDM 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 briefly rebranded to Daring Brussels 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.
