The Luxembourg national football team (nicknamed the Red Lions; {{langx|lb|Lëtzebuergesch Foussballnationalekipp}}, {{langx|fr|Équipe du Luxembourg de football}}, {{langx|de|Luxemburgische Fußballnationalmannschaft}}) is the national football team of Luxembourg, and is controlled by the Luxembourg Football Federation. The team plays most of its home matches at the Stade de Luxembourg in Luxembourg City.
Luxembourg has participated in every FIFA World Cup qualifiers since those for the 1934 World Cup and in UEFA European Championship qualifiers since those for Euro 1964. As of 2024, they have never qualified for any of these major tournaments.

However, they did compete in six Olympic football events between 1920 and 1952.

Luxembourg played their first ever international match on 29 October 1911, in a friendly match against France; it resulted in a 1–4 defeat.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesl/lux-intres.html|title=Luxembourg – List of International Matches|author=Barrie Courney|date=4 Dec 2014|access-date=31 August 2012|website=RSSSF|archive-date=6 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230406010422/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesl/lux-intres.html|url-status=live}} Their first victory came on 8 February 1914, also in a match against France, which they won 5–4.
The national side of Luxembourg competed in six Olympic football events between 1920 and 1952, and survived the preliminary round twice (in 1948 and 1952). In between, Luxembourg started participating at qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup, but as of 2022 they have never qualified.
Starting in 1921, the Luxembourg national A-selection would play 239 unofficial international matches until 1981, mostly against other countries' B-teams like those of Belgium, France, Switzerland and West Germany, as well as a team representing South-Netherlands.{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesl/lux-unoff-intres.html |title=Luxembourg – List of Unofficial International matches |website=RSSSF |author=Barrie Courtney |date=8 Mar 2005 |access-date=12 September 2015 |archive-date=13 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230613234557/http://www.rsssf.org/tablesl/lux-unoff-intres.html |url-status=live }}
After their last Olympic tournament in 1952, the national team also started playing in qualifying groups for UEFA European Championships, but could not reach the major European tournament end stages. The only time that the team was close to qualify was for a European or World Championship was for the Euro 1964. In the first qualification round they defeated the Netherlands with a score of 3–2 on aggregate after two matches. A Dutch newspaper commented this stunt after the second match with "David Luxembourg won with 2–1 [against Goliath Netherlands]".{{cite news |url=http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?query=Luxemburg+voetbal&coll=ddd&page=5&facets%5Bperiode%5D%5B%5D=2%7C20e_eeuw%7C1960-1969%7C1963%7C&sortfield=datedesc&identifier=ddd%3A010679166%3Ampeg21%3Aa0230&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A010679166%3Ampeg21%3Aa0230 |title=Schwartz' droombeeld werd nachtmerrie voor publiek |newspaper=Nieuwsblad van het Noorden |language=nl |date=31 Oct 1963 |access-date=23 Aug 2015 |archive-date=23 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923225433/http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?query=Luxemburg+voetbal&coll=ddd&page=5&facets%5Bperiode%5D%5B%5D=2%7C20e_eeuw%7C1960-1969%7C1963%7C&sortfield=datedesc&identifier=ddd%3A010679166%3Ampeg21%3Aa0230&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A010679166%3Ampeg21%3Aa0230 |url-status=live }} In the round of eight, Luxembourg and Denmark fought for a spot in the final tournament. The winner was decided after three matches; Denmark was the winner with a total aggregate score of 6–5.
When the national team does win a competitive match, they are often celebrated by national media and fans, as was the case after a 2–1 win against Switzerland in 2008.{{cite web|url=http://tele.rtl.lu/waatleeft/replay/v/20110907/0/46473/|title=RTL Lëtzebuerg|publisher=De Journal|date=7 September 2008|access-date=25 March 2013|archive-date=29 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130729192018/http://tele.rtl.lu/waatleeft/replay/v/20110907/0/46473/|url-status=live}}{{Cite web |title=Luxembourg stuns Switzerland 2-1 in qualifying |url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/soccer/luxembourg-stuns-switzerland-2-1-in-qualifying |access-date=2024-04-26 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US}}

Kit
Traditionally, the badge on Luxembourg's team outfit displays a shield very similar to Luxembourg's lesser coat of arms, a red lion on a white-blue striped background – hence the team's nickname Red Lions. In modern times, the team played home games in entirely red strips, in accordance with their nickname, and wore white as away colour.
