Squad14 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Charles Openda

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match12 Sep 2026

No end in sight to Mouscron's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mouscron has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Mouscron

Arthur Avom Ebong was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words at Mouscron training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Charles Openda is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match12 Sep 2026

Stan Naert’s goal not enough for Mouscron

Stan Naert scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Club Brugge, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad14 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Steve De Ridder

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Steve De Ridder, and the manager let it.

Lois Alderweireld runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

Jason Januzaj wants to come home

“I did not go to Waasland-Beveren to sit and watch. I want to come back to Mouscron and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Stan Naert changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and Mouscron had a different afternoon.

A debut Charles Meunier will not forget — 7.48

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.48 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Market3 Aug 2026

Mouscron turn down Altach for Axel Witsel

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Charles De Ketelaere in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Mouscron this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Charles Meunier again

The phone has started ringing about Charles Meunier again, and this time the name on the line is Virtus Verona. Mouscron are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Charles Openda falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Mouscron supporters have found a favourite in Youri Chadli

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 17-year-old it feels ownership of. Youri Chadli has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match1 Aug 2026

Romelu Lukaku the difference as Mouscron beat Zulte Waregem

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Romelu Lukaku. 2‑0 against Zulte Waregem, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Romelu Lukaku was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.46. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Renato Cunha stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Renato Cunha and Mouscron agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
