Union Luxembourg
Union Sportive Luxembourg, usually known as Union Luxembourg, was a football club, based in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It is now a part of Racing FC Union Luxembourg. History Union Luxembourg was formed in 1925 as an amalgam of US Hollerich Bonnevoie and Jeunesse Sportive Verlorenkost. Although US Hollerich had been one of the top clubs in Luxembourg, winning five titles consecutively, by 1925, its success had dried up. From the merger until the Second World War, the club would win only one trophy: the championship in 1927. In 1940, the Nazis renamed Union, along with all other clubs as part of the process of Germanisation. Between 1940 and 1944, Union's name would be ''Verein für Rasenspiele 08 Luxemburg''. The end of occupation and reversion of moniker did little to change Union's success (or lack thereof); a solitary Luxembourg Cup was all that Union had to show for the first fifteen years of freedom after the war. However, that all changed very swiftly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
