Top players
Luxembourg National Football Team
Head coach: Guy Hellers
Captain: Jeff Strasser
Top scorer: Léon Mart
FIFA ranking: 174
The Luxembourg national football team is the national football team of Luxembourg, and is controlled by the Luxembourg Football Federation. It plays most of its home matches at the Stade Josy Barthel, in Luxembourg City.
Luxembourg has historically been one of the weakest members of UEFA. However recent games have shown a steady improvement and younger players give grounds for hope for the future of Luxembourg's football. In 1964 Luxembourg narrowly failed to qualify for the 1964 European Football Championship Semi-Finals. Having defeated the Netherlands 1-1 and 2-1 in the Round of 16, they drew with the Denmark 3-3 and 2-2 in the Quarterfinals, before losing 1-0 in the replay.
More recently, they had minor successes and pulled in the biggest upset in the qualifying campaign for the 1996 European Championship as they managed three 1-0 victories, beating Malta twice and upset eventual runners-up Czech Republic at home. However, from 1995 until 2007, Luxembourg failed to win a game, falling down the FIFA World Rankings to a low of 195th in the process. The team scored its first victory in almost twelve years in February 2007, beating Gambia 2-1.
