History

It was formed in 1971[2] as an amalgam of Union Sportive Niederwiltz and Gold a Ro'd Wiltz. In 1976, it absorbed Arminia Weidingen.

In the 2005–06 season, Wiltz finished fifth in the National Division, but the team was relegated to the Division of Honour after finishing twelfth in the 2007–08 season.

Despite the relegation in 2010–11 into the "Promotion d'Honneur", Sanel Ibrahimović succeed in scoring the most goals (18), which let him win the trophy for best topscorer of the season.[3] FC Wiltz 71 managed to climb once again to the "BGL Ligue" for the season 2012–13.
