About Union Luxembourg

Union Luxembourg, officially known as Union Sportive Luxembourg, was a historic football club based in Luxembourg City. Founded in 1925 through the merger of US Hollerich Bonnevoie and Jeunesse Sportive Verlorenkost, the club became an important part of the country’s football scene. It played its home matches at Stade Achille Hammerel and remained active until 2005, when it merged with other clubs to form Racing FC Union Luxembourg.

In its early years, the club experienced limited success, winning its first national championship in 1927. After World War II, Union Luxembourg struggled to achieve major results for a period, but its fortunes improved significantly from the late 1950s onward. Between 1959 and 1971, the club won multiple domestic trophies, including league titles and several Luxembourg Cups, establishing itself as one of the stronger teams in the country during that era.

The club enjoyed another peak at the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, winning three consecutive league titles from 1990 to 1992. Overall, Union Luxembourg won six national championships and ten Luxembourg Cups, and regularly qualified for European competitions, although it achieved limited success internationally. Financial and structural challenges eventually led to its merger in 2005, marking the end of its independent history but contributing to the formation of a new major club in Luxembourg football.
