About National Schifflange

The National Schifflange was a football club based in Schifflange in south-western Luxembourg. It was founded in 1912 and became one of the historic clubs in the country’s early football development. The team competed for many decades in the Luxembourg league system, including multiple spells in the National Division, the country’s top tier. It was one of several clubs from Schifflange that helped establish the town as an active football centre.

The club’s most successful period came in the post-war era. National Schifflange won the Luxembourg championship in the 1951–52 season, marking the highest achievement in its history. It also won the Luxembourg Cup in 1960, adding another major trophy to its honours list. During this time, the club regularly competed at the top level and also produced notable results against strong domestic opposition.

Over time, the club experienced decline and eventually moved down through the divisions. In the later decades it no longer maintained top-flight status and eventually dropped into the lower tiers of Luxembourg football. In 1995, National Schifflange merged with Amis des Sports Schifflange to form FC Schifflange 95, ending its independent existence but leaving a legacy as one of the traditional clubs of the town.
