Luxembourg 1913/14


As there had been no domestic competitions in the 1912/13 season, clubs were free to register for the division in which they wanted to compete.
The three top level debutants clearly overreached themselves, and so Division 1 (the denominations were changed from letters to numbers) saw half a dozen double digit defeats; there would have been more but for Pétange's forfeit away to Hollerich and the mid-season exclusions of Stade Dudelange and SVg. Esch.

Division 1

Participants (8):
 "Club Sportif" Pétange                         [first ever entry]
 F.C. "Jeunesse de la Frontière" Esch/Alzette   
 F.C. "Le Stade" Dudelange                      [first ever entry; excluded during season]
 "Racing-Club" Luxembourg                       
 "Sport-Club" Differdange                       
 "Sporting-Club" Luxembourg                     
 "Sports-Vereinigung" Esch/Alzette          [*] [first ever entry; excluded during season]
 "Union Sportive" Luxembourg-Hollerich          [defending champions]

[*] according to a list of the 22 clubs affiliated to the F.S.L.S.A. published in
    April 1914, this club was registered as Sports-Vereinigung; however, in later
    years, they were commonly referred to as Union Sportive (US Esch)

NB: the tables reported in the newspapers suggest the results of the two excluded
    clubs were not annulled, as in previous seasons, but instead their remaining
    matches were awarded walkover wins to their opponents;
    however, those newspaper tables were not published by the federation, and given
    that in all previous seasons and in the next few seasons the standard procedure
    was to remove all such results from the standings, it seems likely that in fact
    the official tables did not include them; thus below both versions are given

NB: the top-5 were automatically admitted to the 8-team top level planned for
    the 1914/15 season, whereas the other clubs would have to enter a playoff
    for the remaining three places; however, due to the outbreak of the Great
    War, the next season was eventually played in regional groups

      the home ground of US Hollerich); Racing CL 0-4 Sporting CL; and

Division 2

Participants (6):

 "Union Sportive" Dudelange                     

NB: the tables reported in the newspapers suggest the results of the withdrawn club,
    Jeunesse Sportive Kayl, were not annulled, as in previous seasons, but instead
    their remaining matches were awarded walkover wins to their opponents;
    however, those newspaper tables were not published by the federation, and given
    that in all previous seasons and in the next few seasons the standard procedure
    was to remove all such results from the standings, it seems likely that in fact
    the official tables did not include them; thus below both versions are given;
    [FLF 83] states also "Sparta" Bascharage entered but they were not included in
    the fixture list as published at the start of December 1913; they certainly did
    not play any match in the competition

US Dudelange              n/p JS Kayl                   [awarded to US Dudelange]

NB: given the multiple forfeits of both Progrès Grund and Sporting-Club Dudelange
    in March, it could be considered both clubs should have been excluded and not
    ranked at all; however, their results must have counted for the final table
    (as otherwise US Dudelange, who had lost to both, would have won the division
    and the playoff on March 15 against Echternach would have been unnecessary)

Championship Playoff [Mar 15, at ground Sporting-Club Luxembourg]
US Dudelange              2-4 CdS Echternach            

NB: there was no automatic promotion to the 8-team top level planned for the
    next season, for which all clubs except for the top-5 of Division 1 would
    have to play off; however, due to the outbreak of the Great War, the next
    season was eventually played in regional groups (and both CdS Echternach
    and US Dudelange entered the top level, as did Young Boys Diekirch, who
    had won the second level in 1911/12 and sat out the 1913/14 season)
