Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange, Obercorn (FC Differdange 03)

Luxembourg, canton: Esch-sur-Alzette

5 V 2019 / FC Differdange 03 - AS La Jeunesse d'Esch 2-0 / National Division (= LUX level 1)

Note: the Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange was constructed in the course of 2011-2012 roughly (i.e. with a 1/4 turn) on the spot of the former Parc des Sports, home ground of CS Obercorn, which was knocked down in the summer of 2011. In 2012, FC Differdange 03 moved into the new ground, abandoning their old Stade du Thillenberg. Meanwhile, CS Obercorn, forced out of their ground, had spells at Stade Henri Jungers and the aforementioned Stade du Thillenberg before settling down at FC Differdange 03's former training ground, Stade Woiwer, in 2015.

Note 1: Obercorn's impressive Stade Municipal (official capacity according to Luxembourg's FA was 9,300), inaugurated in 1948 for the CS Oberkorn (founded in 1930) was demolished in the summer months of 2011 to make way for a completely new ground, the Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange, purpose-built for FC Differdange 03. CS Obercorn, forced away from their home soil, played at the Stade Henri Jungers (2011-2013) and the Stade du Thillenberg (2013-2015) before settling down at FC Differdange's former B ground, Stade Woiwer.
