History
Founded in 1922, Aris peaked in the 1960s and 1970s, when it won silverware and represented Luxembourg in European competition. In 42 seasons in the top 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 clubs to reach the second round of any European competition, and having scored a goal in the Camp Nou against Barcelona.
Aris ceased to exist in 2001, when it merged with CS Hollerich to form CS Alliance 01. In 2005, Alliance 01 merged with two other clubs from Luxembourg City, CA Spora Luxembourg and Union Luxembourg, to form Aris' modern incarnation, Racing FC Union Luxembourg.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
