July 2022 / no match visited

Note: FC Avenir Flaxweiler, founded in 1965, was the second football club to see the daylight in Flaxweiler, succeeding the short-lived FC Jeunesse Flaxweiler (1946-51). In 2001, a merger was concluded with FC Beyren-Udinesina, the result being the rather long-winding club name FC Flaxweiler/Beyren Udinesina 01 Sandžak - Sandžak being a region in the former Yugoslavia from which many inhabitants moved to Luxembourg in the 1990s. First team football moved to Beyren's Stade 'Op dem Kalk', alternatively known as Stade Derrière l'Eglise. Most probably, the pitch in Flaxweiler remained in use for lower team football and training purposes. In 2012, FC Flaxweiler/Beyren Udinesina 01 Sandžak was absorbed into CS Muhlenbach Lusitanos from Luxembourg-Ville, which took on the new name of FC Blue Boys Muhlenbach Sandžak. All activities moved to Muhlenbach's Stade Mathias Mamer, while the grounds in Flaxweiler and Beyren were abandoned.
