The club played several seasons in the first division (1924-25 and from 1934-35 to 1946-47) first as White Star Woluwé A.C. then as Royal White Star A.C. The present White Star Woluwé F.C. took its name from this team, but is not otherwise related.

In 1963 the club merged with Racing de Bruxelles to become Royal Racing White. It played in the first division from 1965 until 1973 after two seasons in the second division. Its homeground was the Stade Fallon in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Brussels till the club merged with the famous Daring Club de Bruxelles in July of 1973, becoming the R.W.D. Molenbeek. The main reason of that fusion was the poor league attendance.

It played in the first division for ten seasons after its birth, winning the title of Belgian Champions in 1975 and regularly qualifying for European Cups. Since the club had kept the matricule n°47 of R. Racing White it could begin in the first division but it had lost the honours of the Daring Club. The club played in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels.

Since 1984, the club has encountered many difficulties, leading to bankruptcy in 2002. The club was subsequently dismantled and K.F.C. Strombeek (located near Brussels) to become F.C. Molenbeek Brussels Strombeek, is now playing at the stadium of Molenbeek. The new club (with the matricule of Strombeek) subsequently began in the second division but was promoted to first division in 2004.

In the same time, a bunch of fans, who fought to keep the glorious name alive, had also recreated a new team called RWD Molenbeek (with a new matricule) in 2003. The new team started in the very last provincial division 4 in Brabant (level 8) and it has promoted till the Brabant provincial division 1 (level 5 in Belgium) in 2006 after having absorbed another team from the Brabant province.
