Club Culture
Standard is one of the most popular clubs in Belgium and historically the third most successful club in the Belgian First Division. The team is known as "Les Rouches" (The Reds) for the colour of their home shirts. Their home matches are played in the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, known as the "Cauldron of Sclessin". There are several notable supporter's groups, the four largest being "Hell-Side 81", "Ultras Inferno 96", "Kop Rouche", and "PHK" - each associated with different areas of the stadium.
History
The club was founded in 1900 by students at the College of Saint-Servais in Liege, though an administrative error records the date as 1898. Their inspiration for the name was Standard de Paris, a popular Parisian club at the time. A critical moment in the club's history was in the 1982 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, in which they were beaten by FC Barcelona in the final. In 1982, a scandal was revealed implicating several players and trainers in an alleged plan to influence other Belgian clubs to "ease off" toward the end of the season, that Standard might face Barcelona without injuries. In 1996, the club absorbed RFC Seraing. The Belgian titles stopped coming, yet the club remained very popular across Belgium - even in the Flemish north. The club appeared to see something of a resurgence in the 2005-2006 season, finishing the Jupiler League in second place, earning themselves a place in the Champions League qualifiers.
