Thus, each team played 26 games over the course of the calendar. European qualification Luxembourg was assigned one spot in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, for the league champions; it was also assigned two spots in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, for the runners-up and the Luxembourg Cup winners. However, as F91 Dudelange won both the National Division and the Luxembourg Cup (as they had in 2005–06), the UEFA Cup spot for the Luxembourg Cup winners went to the losing finalists, UN Käerjeng 97. Pre-season predictions At the beginning of the season, F91 Dudelange were widely predicted to successfully defend their title.http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/Kind=2/newsId=439560.html https://web.archive.org/web/20070104033517/http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=439560.html dead 4 January 2007 Dudelange still the team to beat 2006-08-02 Berens André 26 July 2006 UEFA Dudelange strengthened their first-team squad by signing Thierry Joly and Alexandre Lecomte, whilst also holding on to most of their existing players. By comparison, Jeunesse Esch and Etzella Ettelbruck, Dudelange's closest challengers in 2005–06, have lost key players; Jeunesse captain Manuel Cardoni became player-manager of US Rumelange, whilst Etzella lost Patrick Grettnich to retirement, and both Luc Mischo and Marc Reuter to Racing FC Union Luxembourg.
