Timeline

• 1921 / Foundation of a football club in Strassen, a village to the west of Luxembourg-Ville, on February 13th, 1921; the new club takes on the name FC Union Athlétique (UNA) Strassen. The club starts its existence on a plot of land referred to locally as Terrain am Bauerepaesch (situated near Haus Lacour).
• 1922 / FC UNA Strassen joins the Luxembourg Football Association (FLF).
• 1925 / Moving away from Terrain am Bauerepaesch, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch in the hamlet of Geeseneck, on a plot of land rented to the club by Mathias Ewen, a fervent supporter nicknamed Zäre Mett.
• 1932 / Moving away from Terrain Geeseneck after seven years, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch, Terrain Hemmeschpaesch.
• 1938 / Moving away from Terrain Hemmeschpaesch, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch, Terrain Wöllefsheck.
• 1939 / Moving away from Terrain Wöllefsheck, little more than a temporary solution, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch at Route d’Arlon.
• 1945 / As activities are resumed after the havocs of World War II, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch, situated at Route d’Arlon like its predecessor, but slightly further to the east.
• 1963 / Moving away from its pitch at Route d’Arlon, FC UNA Strassen settles on a newly laid-out pitch near the village centre, Terrain am Hueflach, later renamed Complexe Jean Wirtz in honour of the socialist mayor of Strassen (1964-75) and an ardent supporter of the club.
• 2021 / The decision is taken by Strassen’s municipal council to move the activities of the club to a new to be laid-out Campus de Football near the local wellness resort, Les Thermes, on the exit road to Bertrange.
• 2023 / Works get underway on the projected Campus de Football near Les Thermes in March 2023.
• 2025 / Moving away from Complexe Jean Wirtz after 62 years, FC UNA Strassen moves into the so-called Stade An de Millewisen in the fall of 2025, playing its first home match on the new location on October 26th, a convincing 5-0 win over FC Rodange 91. The official inauguration of the ground takes place one month later, on November 23rd. The inauguration of the ground follows the most successful season in the history of FC UNA Strassen, which saw the club finish as runner-up in the National Division, the top flight of Luxembourgian football, behind champions FC Differdange 03.
