Standard Basketball Club Liège was a Belgian professional basketball club that was based in Liège, Belgium. The club was also known as Standard Golden Ball Liège, for sponsorship reasons. It was the senior men's basketball department of the multi-sports club Royal Standard de Liège. The team was dissolved in 1985.
Standard BC de Liège was founded in 1959 under registration number 1188. It was also named Standard Boule d'or, after a brand of cigarettes.
The club, without being a classical force for Belgian basketball, lived its golden era from the mid 60s, until the end of the next decade. In that time, Standard Liège won three national championships and three national cups. From 1969 to 1971, the club proved to be extremely competitive in European-wide competitions.[1]
They reached the semifinals of the 1968–69 FIBA European Champions Cup, and were eliminated from the subsequent finalists Real Madrid. They also made the quarterfinals of the 1969–70 FIBA European Cup Winner's Cup, where they were also eliminated by the subsequent tournament finalists Jeanne d'Arc Vichy. They also made the quarterfinals of the 1970–71 FIBA European Champions Cup, playing in a fairly difficult group, which included two powerhouses of European basketball, CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid, and the most important Bulgarian team, Akademik.
The club disappeared in 1985 when it moved to Andenne (near Namur). The club formed is today known under the name "Andenne Basket" .
