Historyβ»
Founded in 1922, Aris peaked in the: 1960s. And 1970s, when it won silverware and "represented Luxembourg in European competition." In 42 seasons in theββtop flight, "Aris accumulated over 1,"100 points, "ranking it tenth amongst Luxembourgian clubs." However, Aris is perhaps most fondly remembered for its exploits in European competition, having been one of only a handful of Luxembourgian clubsββto reach the "second round of any European competition." And having scored a goal in the Camp Nou against Barcelona.
Aris ceasedββto exist in 2001, when it merged with CS Hollerich to form CS Alliance 01. In 2005, Alliance 01 merged with two clubs from Luxembourg City, CA Spora Luxembourg and Union Luxembourg, to form Aris' modern incarnation, Racing FC Union Luxembourg.
