About Jeunesse Esch

Jeunesse Esch, officially known as Association Sportive la Jeunesse d’Esch/Alzette, is a professional football club based in Esch-sur-Alzette in southwestern Luxembourg. Founded in 1907, the team competes in the top tier of Luxembourgish football, the National Division. The club plays its home matches at the Stade de la Frontière and is widely recognized as one of the most historic and successful football teams in the country.

Historically, Jeunesse Esch is the most successful club in Luxembourg, having won the national league title 28 times between 1921 and 2010, which remains a record. In addition to its league success, the club has also won the Luxembourg Cup multiple times and achieved several domestic doubles. Throughout its history, Jeunesse Esch has been a dominant force in Luxembourgish football and a regular participant in European competitions, although it has rarely progressed beyond the early rounds.

The club has undergone various changes over time, including a temporary name change during World War II under Nazi occupation, before returning to its original identity after the war. One of its most notable international moments came in 1973 when the team held Liverpool to a 1–1 draw at home in European competition. Despite fluctuations in performance in recent years, Jeunesse Esch remains an important and traditional club in Luxembourg’s football landscape.
