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.[4][5] 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.[6][7][8]
