This club later changed its name to Cercle des Sport de Mons and settled on Avenue du Tir.

[1] In 1909, René Tondreau, Maurice Van Pel, Henri Lebailly and Fernand Courtois decided to form a new club.

The club became a member of the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) on 17 June 1910 and received matricule number 44.

[1] In May 1910, the lease was signed for one hectare of land along Avenue du Tir, on the site of the current stadium, and on 25 September 1910, it was opened in front of 300 spectators.

The decisive play-off match between the two clubs ended 3–3, with Mons promoting back to the Second Division after winning 4–3 in the subsequent penalty shootout.

[2] In the Second Division, Mons immediately managed to qualify for the final play-off round in their first season, but eventually failed to promote again.

Mons qualified for the final play-off round again, won, and thus promoted to the Belgian top-tier First Division for the first time in club history in 2002.

In December 2008, Pister was fired after poor results and succeeded by youth coach Christophe Dessy, who was also immediately promoted to the role of manager.

[10] Enzo Scifo was appointed as new head coach and guided the club to the semi-finals of the play-offs in the remaining games.
