History
FC Schifflange 95 is the result of a merger between former Schifflange sides Amis des Sports (founded in 1936) and National Schifflange (founded in 1912). National Schifflange was a one-time Luxembourg champion after winning the 1951–52 Luxembourg National Division.[3] National also won the 1960 Luxembourg Cup.[4] The new merger club was established on 21 April 1995.
The first season of the new club saw them winning the 1st Division, with a four-point lead. After three seasons in the Promotion d'Honneur, FC Schifflange 95 clinched promotion to the top level Luxembourg National Division but got relegated immediately after that one season. Since its establishment, the club has therefore played only one season at the top level, six seasons in Division of Honour, 11 seasons in Division 1 and five seasons in Division 2.[5] After 23 years, in 2023 FC Schifflange 95 got promoted back to the National Division but got relegated immediately again after just one season. In the 24/25 season they finished 13th in the second division but won the relegation playoffs again Syra Mensdorf
