During the 2009–10 Belgian football season, Standard Liège competed in the Belgian Pro League.
Season summary
Having won the title the past two seasons running, Liège were looking to make it a hat-trick of title, but very quickly fell off the title race. Manager László Bölöni resigned in February with the club 19 points adrift of leaders Anderlecht. He was replaced by Dominique D'Onofrio, brother of club vice-president Lucien and Liège's former technical director between 2002 and 2006. However, the club's form failed to improve making them finish in eighth place, two points adrift of the title play-offs - as a result, failing to qualify for European competition.
Kit
Liège's kits were sponsored by Belgian telecommunications company BASE.
