Luxembourg

Luxembourg. For a tiny country, Luxembourg has enormous amount of football clubs – going down to 6 divisions, if not more. But it was also lowly football, leaving almost no memories, even pictures. Thus, very briefly. The 12-team Second Division was won by Alliance (Dudelange) – they were vastly superior to anybody, finishing with 6 points advantage. Olympique (Eischen) was second. Both teams were promoted, almost newcomers to the top league.

The 12-teams top league had two outsiders, which was very convenient for all others. Etzella (Ettelbruck) finished last with 9 points. CS Grevenmacher was 11th with 12 points. Both going down. Three teams battled for the title, but at the end it was arguably the most consistent club since the early 70s finishing first. Progres (Niedercorn) took 3rd place with 31 points. Red Boys (Differdange) was 2nd with 32 points. Avenir (Beggen) ended champion with 33 points.

Avenir also reached the Cup final and there destroyed US Rumelange 4-1.

Thus Avenir triumphed with a double, a sweet moment even for clubs used to winning.
