Football in the Principality of Liechtenstein

 

Liechtenstein in action against England in the Euro 2004 qualifiersAs in most European countries, football (soccer) is a national obsession, even though the pool of talent is small, limiting the possible success.

 

Having said this, the national team has grown in stature, achieving draws against such (relative) giants as the Republic of Ireland, and Portugal, and a famous victory against fellow minnows Luxembourg (albeit a larger country).

 

Nationally, all the Liechtenstein teams compete in the Swiss football leagues, with FC Vaduz being the most successful, and highest ranked. 2003-4 season saw a near miss in terms of promotion to the top league.

 

Most villages have a team, for details from their own websites, please click on their respective logos.
