About Alliance Dudelange

Alliance Dudelange was a football club based in Dudelange in southern Luxembourg. It was founded in 1916 through the merger of two local teams, Étoile Rouge Dudelange and Étoile Bleue Dudelange, and became one of the traditional clubs from a town with a strong football culture. The club competed in Luxembourg’s football league system for most of its history and played its home matches at Stade Amadéo Barozzi.

The club experienced its strongest period in the 1960s. During this time, Alliance Dudelange achieved notable domestic success, winning the Luxembourg Cup twice in 1961 and 1962 and finishing as runners-up in the national championship in 1962. It also reached another cup final in 1969. In addition, the club participated in European competitions, including the Cup Winners’ Cup, although it was eliminated in the early rounds.

In 1991, Alliance Dudelange merged with Stade Dudelange and US Dudelange to form F91 Dudelange. This merger combined the resources and histories of three long-established clubs in the city, creating a stronger modern team. Although Alliance Dudelange ceased to exist as an independent club, it remains an important part of the foundation of one of Luxembourg’s most successful contemporary football projects.
