Football Club Progrès Niederkorn is a football club based in Niederkorn, in south-western Luxembourg.
During the German occupation of Luxembourg, the club played in the Gauliga Moselland under the name of FK Niederkorn, where it finished runners-up in 1942–43, behind champions TuS Neuendorf.
Three times domestic league winners, the club's most successful years were at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. They have not won any major silverware since the 1981 league title.
In the 2005–06 season, Niedercorn finished second in Luxembourg's second division, the Division of Honour. As the top league, the National Division, expanded from twelve teams to fourteen, Niedercorn were promoted along with Differdange 03.
On 4 July 2017, Progrès pulled off a huge upset when they beat Rangers to secure their first ever win in European football.
The club has only won one tie in European competition, (2-1 aggregate) against Rangers FC in the 2017-18 Europa League First Qualifying Round. Before then, they only managed two draws and one goal; the first was against Glentoran in the 1981–82 European Cup, where they drew 1–1; the second was against Shamrock Rovers in the 2015–16 UEFA Europa League.
