Royal Olympic Club Charleroi, commonly referred to as Olympique Charleroi and abbreviated as ROCC, is a Belgian association football based in Charleroi, Hainaut. The club set to compete in the Challenger Pro League from 2025–26, the second tier of the Belgian football after promotion from Belgian Division 1 ACFF in 2024–25. Nicknamed Les Dogues (The Mastiffs), Olympic Charleroi have played their home games at Stade de la Neuville, since 1920. The club's colors are white and black, and it is registered under matricule 246.
Founded in 1911, the club first played in the Belgian Third Division before earning promotion to the Second Division in 1936. They reached the top tier in 1937 and achieved their highest league finish as runners-up in 1947. Following a period of fluctuating fortunes, including relegation in 1955 and a series of brief promotions and relegations, Olympic spent several decades in the lower divisions. In 2000, the club merged with RA Marchienne, and later returned to the third division in 2006. In 2019, Olympic merged with Châtelet-Farciennes SC and was renamed Royal Olympic Club Charleroi Châtelet Farciennes, before reverting to its original name in 2020.
