Luxembourg's national football team is governed by the Luxembourg Football Federation (Fédération Luxembourgeoise de Football, FLF), which oversees football in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a small constitutional monarchy nestled in the heart of Western Europe, bordered by France to the south, Belgium to the west and north, and Germany to the east.
As one of the smaller footballing nations in UEFA, Luxembourg has historically competed in the qualifying rounds of the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship without advancing to the final tournaments. The team's record reflects the realities of a nation with a population of just over 600,000, competing against far larger footballing powers. Despite limited resources and a small domestic player pool drawn from a country roughly the size of Kanagawa Prefecture, Luxembourg has produced competitive performances in qualifying campaigns.
In recent years, the national team has shown signs of gradual improvement, recording notable results against higher-ranked opponents in UEFA Nations League competition and World Cup and European qualifying groups. This has helped raise the profile of football in a country better known historically for its steel industry, financial sector, and status as a founding member of the European Union.
Luxembourg's footballing identity is rooted in perseverance rather than silverware, representing a nation that punches above its weight on the continental stage. The domestic league, the National Division, feeds talent into the national setup, while an increasing number of players based abroad in stronger European leagues have bolstered the squad's quality heading into the current decade.
