THE COUNTRY
Luxembourg is known in Germany mainly as the country where people from the West go to get cheap gas, cigarettes and coffee. Despite its tiny size, the Grand Duchy is a powerful part and contributor to the European Union – something that cannot necessarily be said about Luxembourg's footballing qualities. Despite having improved significantly in the last years and currently sitting at 92nd place in the FIFA rankings, Luxembourg’s national team has yet to qualify for any major tournament. The biggest success of the small football nation was certainly the promotion to League C of the 2020 Nations League and the surprising second place in their group, just two points behind Turkey.
THE SHIRT
After years of pure boredom in Luxembourg's garderobe, the national team's jerseys have improved considerably under the Italian manufacturer Macron. After Erreà took over the “UEFA Assistance Kit Scheme”, which provides the smaller European nations with their own kits, this upward trend was maintained.
Luxembourg's last away kit comes in dark blue with light horizontal stripes featuring small Luxembourgian lions. The crest is made of rubber and has small studs.
It was worn by 1. FC Köln player Mathias Olesen in the match against Lithuania and breaks the record for the stinkiest jersey in my collection!
