'''Ranger's FC Andorra''' is an [[Andorra]]n professional [[Association football|football]] club based in [[Andorra la Vella]]. The team currently plays in [[Primera Divisió]].

== History ==
The club was founded in 1981, but they only started playing in Andorran leagues in 1999. FC Rànger's aren't associated with Glasgow Rangers.  After two years in the [[Segona Divisió|Andorran Second Division]], they played for the first time in the [[Primera Divisió|Campionat de Lliga]] in the 2001–02 season. After the promotion, FC Rànger's started a growing career, and after finishing second in 2005, they won the league title the two subsequent years, 2006 and 2007.{{citation needed|date=July 2012}}

Ranger's F.C. Andorra made their first time appearance in European competitions, playing the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] in the summer of 2005, being eliminated by [[SK Sturm Graz|Sturm Graz]] by 6–1 in aggregate. The home match ended with a 1–1 draw, scored by Norberto Urbani. After winning the Andorran championship, they qualified for the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]], where they were eliminated in the first round by [[FK Sarajevo]]. Ranger's F.C. Andorra became the first Andorran team to compete in the [[UEFA Champions League]] by qualifying for the [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League|2007–08]] season. However, their stay was short-lived as they were eliminated in the first qualifying round after a 5–0 aggregate loss to [[FC Sheriff Tiraspol|Sheriff Tiraspol]] over two rounds played on 18 July and 24 July 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=History: Sheriff 2-0 Rànger's: UEFA Champions League 2007/08 Qualif. 1 |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/300991/ |access-date=2025-04-10 |website=UEFA.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=History: Rànger's 0-3 Sheriff: UEFA Champions League 2007/08 Qualif. 1 |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/301005/ |access-date=2025-04-10 |website=UEFA.com |language=en}}</ref>
