At that same time, another club from the city, called Royale Union Liégeoise (matricule 23, founded in 1922 and formerly known as RFC Bressoux), renamed itself to Seraing RUL and started playing at the Stade du Pairay where RFC Seraing played until its default, but it is an entirely different club and is entirely distinct from the former RFC Seraing.

It started in the Second Division under the new name Seraing United, but reverted to RFC Seraing one season later.
