Despite football being so popular, Luxembourg has rarely had a club pass the second round of qualifying for the Champions League. However, in the 2018-19 Europa League, F91 Dudelange became the first team from Luxembourg to qualify to the group stage of a major European Competition when they beat CFR Cluj of Romania in the Play-Offs 5-2 on aggregate.
The first match of the national team was played on 29 October 1911 (defeat 1–4 against France ), while the first women's game was a 0–4 defeat to Slovakia on 18 November 2006.
