History

edit

The club was founded in 1908 under its current name. In 1940 as part of Germanisation of Luxembourg, FC Marisca Mersch was renamed Fussballklub (FK) Mersch. Following the liberation of Luxembourg, the original name FC Marisca Mersch was restored.[3]

In 1947, as runners up in Division 2 Serie 1, Marisca Mersch were promoted for the first time to the third level of the Luxembourg league pyramid for the first time, where they remained for 10 seasons. In 1963 they reached the Luxembourg Division of Honour, the second division in Luxembourg's football pyramid for the first time.[4]

In 2012 Marisca Mersch reached the final of the Coupe FLF, a cup competition for teams in the third to fifth divisions of the Luxembourg football league system. They lost in the final 6–0 to Jeunesse Junglinster.[3][5]

In 2023 Marisca Mersch were promoted to the Luxembourg National Division for the first time, after finishing runners up in the 2022/23 Luxembourg Division of Honour season.[6][7] 2023 also saw the club reach the final of the Luxembourg Cup for the first time, where they were beaten 4–2 by Differdange 03.[8][9][10]

The club has played at Terrain Schintgespesch since 1989.[11][12]
