About FC Aris Bonnevoie

FC Aris Bonnevoie was a football club based in Bonnevoie, a district of Luxembourg City. Founded in 1922, it became one of the established teams in Luxembourg football and competed for many years in the country’s top division. The club played its home matches in Luxembourg City and built a reputation as a competitive side in domestic football, especially during the mid-20th century.

The club experienced its strongest period between the 1960s and 1970s. During this era, Aris Bonnevoie won multiple national league titles and a Luxembourg Cup, establishing itself as one of the leading teams in the country. It was also a regular participant in European competitions, where it represented Luxembourg in various UEFA tournaments, gaining experience against stronger international opponents despite limited success overall.

In European competition, Aris is remembered for several notable appearances, including reaching the second round of the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1979–80 and scoring against major clubs such as FC Barcelona. Although the team rarely advanced far in Europe, these matches remain important highlights in its history. The club ceased to exist in 2001 after merging with other local teams, eventually contributing to the formation of Racing FC Union Luxembourg.
