About FC Progrès Niederkorn

FC Progrès Niederkorn is a football club based in Niederkorn, in south-western Luxembourg. Founded in 1919, the club has become a long-standing participant in Luxembourg’s top football structure, currently competing in the National Division, the country’s highest league. It plays its home matches at Stade Jos Haupert and is traditionally recognized as one of the stronger provincial clubs outside the capital.

Historically, Progrès Niederkorn has had several successful periods, especially in the 1950s and again in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The club has won the Luxembourg championship three times and has also secured multiple Luxembourg Cup titles, often achieving strong domestic results during its peak eras. These successes established it as a competitive force in Luxembourg football, particularly before the rise of more dominant modern clubs.

In more recent years, the club has gained attention again for its performances in European competitions. Although it had long struggled to progress in UEFA tournaments, it achieved a breakthrough in the 2017–18 Europa League by eliminating Rangers, marking one of the most famous results in Luxembourgish club football history. Since then, Progrès Niederkorn has continued to compete regularly in Europe while maintaining a solid presence in the domestic league.
