history

The association was founded in 1907 as Jeunesse la Frontière d'Esch . In 1918 the club got its current name. In 1921 the club won its first championship. Between 1939 and 1944 the association was called Schwarz-Weiß 07 Esch .

From 1941 to 1944 the club played in the Gauliga Moselland and won the season in the 1943/44 season. Participation in the German finals was missed, however, as they lost 8-0 to the winner of the East Season, TuS Neuendorf , after a 4-1 first leg win in the second leg.

The greatest international successes came in the 1959 European Cup with a 5-0 first round match against LKS Lodz and on September 19, 1973 with a 1-1 home draw in the first round against Liverpool , the reigning English champions and UEFA Cup winner; Esch lost the second leg with 0-2.

In 1968, 1969 and 1986 Jeunesse Esch was voted Luxembourg team of the year .

youth

For years, the Luxembourg record champions have relied on the youth. This is also confirmed by the low average age in the first team. The youth teams are among the best teams in Luxembourg in their age groups. However, the first team lacks somewhat more experienced players. The Scolaires players of the 2006/07 season managed to get the double from Jeunesse Esch for the first time in history.
