# FC UNA Strassen

FC UNA Strassen, founded in 1922 is a professional football club based in Strassen, Southern Luxembourg. They play at the top of Luxembourg’s football pyramid, in the Luxembourg National Division (sometimes abbreviated as ‘LND’), alongside 15 other clubs.

## History

The club was founded in 1922 as Union Athlétique Strassen. The team began to work their way up to the top flight in the late 1990s and gradually earned promotion to the LND after the 2014-15 season.
The 1998-99 2. Division (Division. 4) season was the take-off season for UNA Strassen. They topped Serie 2 of the Division (the second of four groups), and so earning themselves promotion from the 4th Division to the 3rd Division.
The wait for another promotion was at last ended just over 10 years after their pre-millennium success. In the 2010-11 1. Division (Div. 3), UNA Strassen secured top spot of Serie 2 (the second of two groups), and in turn gaining promotion once more, this time to the Division d’Honneur (Div. 2).
Their time in the 2nd Division was rather short, taking the side only 4 years to reach the top flight from there. At the end of the 2014-15 Division d’Honneur, UNA Strassen took a huge step towards becoming a more prominent Luxembourgish team after their promotion from the Luxembourg Division of Honour (Division 2) to the 2015-16 Luxembourg National Division. They finished in a very much memorable 3rd Place, just as they had 2 years previously, but the difference this year was that they won their play-off match.
UNA Strassen have now established themselves as one of the major teams in Luxembourg, enforcing this with 5 top-10 (out of 16) finishes in the last 5 seasons. They have also been performing well in domestic competition, going out in the Semi-Final of the 2023–24 Luxembourg Cup to FC Swift Hesperange 2-0. Qualification for European competition (as discussed below) that same season really enforced them as one of a handful of prominent sides in the Luxembourgish footballing world.
After the conclusion of the 2023-24 Luxembourg National Division, UNA Strassen qualified for European Football for their first time, qualifying for the 2024-25 Conference League despite finishing 6th (outside of the qualifying spots which are 1st-3rd). This was due to Swift Hesperange and Jeunesse Esch (two other clubs who play in the LND) being denied their UEFA Pro Licenses.

## European Competition

UNA Strassen have only played two games in European competition in their history, a two-legged match-up against Finnish side Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS). This was played in the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League First Qualifying Round, which they lost 5-0 on aggregate.
