On Thursday 3 September 2026, the Luxembourg Football Federation (FLF) published its new strategic plan for 2027–2031, setting out the main directions for the development of Luxembourg football over the next five years.
According to the FLF, the new plan was unanimously adopted by its Board of Directors and follows on from the 2022–2022026 strategy and the work carried out in recent years. Several initiatives were introduced and developed during this period, while some of the objectives initially set were exceeded. The Federation noted that it now intends to build on these achievements in order to continue the development of football in Luxembourg in a “coherent and ambitious” manner.
The strategy also highlighted progress made under the previous 2022–2026 plan. In women’s football, the FLF had initially aimed to increase the number of active female members by 20%, from 3,322 to around 4,000. According to the new strategy, the figure instead rose by approximately 50%. The Federation also exceeded its target of 350 active referees. Luxembourg football currently counts around 410 referees.
Nine Areas at the Heart of Luxembourg Football Development
The 2027–2031 strategic plan defines the priorities that will guide the Federation’s activities over the coming years. These include talent development and the Centre de Formation National (CFN), national competitions, grassroots football and club development, women’s football, social responsibility, good governance, marketing and communication, digitalisation, as well as coach education and referee development.
Through these different areas, the FLF said it aims to continue structuring Luxembourg football and create the conditions necessary for its sustainable development, both in sporting and organisational terms.
Clubs at the Centre of the Strategy
The FLF noted that cooperation with clubs represents a central element of the 2027–2031 strategic plan. As the foundation of Luxembourg football, clubs play an essential role in football participation, the development of young people and talent, the organisation of competitions and the voluntary involvement of many people across the country.
In this context, the Federation also intends to further strengthen its role as a service provider and development partner for clubs. According to the FLF, close and constructive dialogue between the Federation and its clubs will be key to translating the ambitions of the strategy into concrete progress for Luxembourg football as a whole.
Building the Next Stage of Luxembourg Football
With its 2027–2031 strategic plan, the FLF said it intends to continue the work undertaken in recent years and support Luxembourg football in its next phase of development.
The Federation stated that its objective is to build a football sector that continues to progress in sporting terms, strengthens its clubs, brings people together and remains “attractive, sustainable and forward-looking” for future generations.
The FLF 2027–2031 strategic plan is available in French, German and Luxembourgish on the Federation’s website.
