The club was founded on 26 January 1913 during a meeting at the Place Maugrétout in La Louvière.

The next year a Belgian international player (namely August Hellemans who played in the 1930 World Cup) was transferred at La Louvière.

It was alleged in the Belgian press that several players, board members and manager Gilbert Bodart had accepted large sums of money from Chinese businessman Zheyun Ye, who wanted to influence the results in matches so he could manufacture high profits in gambling.

His assistant, former La Louvière forward Frédéric Tilmant replaced him at the helm of the club but could not avoid RAAL finishing in last place in the division.

The club eventually seized the Evocation Commission which rejected the plaint of La Louvière on 15 June 2006.

The day after, chairman Filippo Gaone retired from the club as it would play the third division in 2006–07.
