Houtvenne played for a number of years with the Flemish Football Association, and then joined the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) around 1946, where they were given matricule number 4481. Houtvenne began competing in the Belgian Provincial Leagues.
In the 2015–16 season, the club played in the First Provincial and won the title. For the first time in club existence, the club promoted to the national tiers, as they would play in the Belgian Third Amateur Division from the 2016–17 season.[2]
After four seasons in the fifth tier, a new high point in club history occurred. Despite finishing fourth in their division and narrowly missing promotion, ASV Geel failed to obtain their licence for the fourth tier, which meant that Houtvenne reached the Belgian Division 2, and would play their first season at that level for 2020–21.[3][4]
