History

The roots of T71 go back to 1954 at which time, at the initiative of the local CA Dudelange (track & field), some basketball fans founded a basketball section. In 1959 the basketball section separates from the CAD and joins the HB Dudelange (handball) club. In 1968, the basketball section becomes an independent entity within the HBD organization.

Since 1971, T71 has had a lot of success and celebrated 12 championships and 11 cup wins with its men team. The ladies won the championship and the cup competition twice. Both teams play in the highest division in the Total League.
