Memorial to the members of the Stade Louvaniste football club who died in the First World War, erected in 1922 at the club's request at the entrance to the car park next to the stadium, and unveiled on 27 August 1922; no designer is known. Conceived as an artificial sandstone rock, with a football at its base and a bronze bas-relief plaque bearing military attributes, it shows, according to the inventory, the stylistic features of Art Deco. After 1945 the dates 1940-1945 were added to the original inscription and the names of seven members who died in the Second World War were also carved; the names of the victims of both wars appear on a sandstone plaque set into the right-hand side. It is recorded in the Flemish architectural heritage inventory.
