Royale Union Tubize-Braine, also known as Tubize-Braine or RUTB, is a Belgian football club based in the cities of Tubize and Braine-le-Comte. The team set to play in Belgian National Division 1 from 2024–25, third tier of Belgian football after promotion from Belgian Division 2 in 2023–24.

History

The club was founded in 1990 as the result of a merger of two clubs, F.C. Tubize and Amis Réunis de Tubize. At that point it was known as AFC Tubize and last promoted to the first division in 2008, relegating back in 2009. In 2021, the club merged with neighboring Stade Braine from Braine-le-Comte, to form Tubize-Braine, which involved a new logo and a change of colors, from blood red and gold to white and gold.

In 2023–24, Tubize-Braine secure promotion to Belgian National Division 1 from next season after finishing third place in Belgian Division 2 ACFF.
