Luxembourg. Ranked last in Europe – 33rd. If Malta was enlarging their top league, Luxembourg was reducing the top league from 12 to 10 teams the next season. Thus, 3 teams were relegated and only one promoted. On the top – single and familiar dominance.
CS Petange won the Second Division championship and the single promotion this year. It was a return to top flight.
US Rumelange was the outsider in the top league – last with 10 points. Three teams ended with 16 points and goal-difference decided their fate: Aris (Bonnevoie) took 11th place and Alliance (Dudelange) – 10th. They were relegated along with US Rumelange. Swift (Hesperange) survived on 9th place.
At the top Avenir (Beggen) played well as usual, but not well enough to compete for the title – they finished 3rd with 28 points. Spora (Luxembourg) and Jeunesse (Esch) fought bitterly for the title. Jeunesse bested Spora by a single point and won the title with 34 points from 15 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses. 53-20 goal-difference.
Avenir attempted to get a trophy, reaching the Cup final, where they met Jeunesse. Again, Jeunesse prevailed: 1-0.
Thus, Jeunesse triumphed with a double – it was their 6th. Their total record increased to 21 titles and 9 Cups.
