Liechtenstein national football team
Encyclopedia
The Liechtenstein national football team is the national football
team of Liechtenstein
and is controlled by the Liechtenstein Football Association
. The organisation is known as the Liechtensteiner Fussballverband in German
. The team's first match was an unofficial match against Malta
in Seoul
, a 1–1 draw in 1981. Their first official match came two years later, a 0–1 defeat from Switzerland. Liechtenstein's largest win, a 4–0 win over Luxembourg
in a 2006 World Cup qualifier on 13 October 2004, was both its first away win ever and its first win in any World Cup qualifier. Liechtenstein suffered its biggest ever loss in 1996, during qualification for the 1998 FIFA World Cup
, with an 11–1 thrashing at the hands of the Republic of Macedonia
.
The team's record in competitive games was so poor it prompted British writer Charlie Connelly
to follow the entire qualifying campaign
for the 2002 FIFA World Cup
. As recorded in the subsequent book Stamping Grounds: Liechtenstein's Quest for the World Cup, Liechtenstein lost all eight games without scoring a goal.
Four days before Liechtenstein scored its first win in World Cup qualifying, the team made even more headlines with a stunning 2–2 draw in Vaduz
in a 2006 World Cup qualifier against Portugal
. Before this result, Liechtenstein had lost all of its previous 20 World Cup qualifiers. They also caused a shock in the return match at the end of the group phase when Benjamin Fischer
scored, and Liechtenstein led at half time, before eventually losing 2–1.
Liechtenstein is the only country ever to lose to San Marino
, with a 1–0 loss in a friendly match on 28 April 2004.
by holding them to a 0–0 draw on 3 June 1995. On 14 October 1998, they managed their first victory in a qualifying campaign by winning 2–1 against Azerbaijan
in a UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying match.
Since then, the presence of Liechtenstein clubs in the Swiss league system and of a handful of professional players (most notably Mario Frick) has seen the side's competitiveness improve enormously. The Euro 2004 qualifiers saw Liechtenstein improve to the extent they restricted England
to 2–0 wins. The 2006 World Cup qualifiers
, however, brought even better results as two wins over Luxembourg
and draws against both Slovakia
and Portugal
meant that Liechtenstein finished with 8 points.
In the Euro 2008 qualifiers, Liechtenstein beat Latvia
through a solitary goal from Mario Frick. The result caused the Latvian manager to resign after the match. They repeated their heroics against Iceland
managing to beat them 3–0 on 17 October 2007 for their second qualifying group win. On the 26 March 2008 Liechtenstein had an embarrassing 7–1 loss to fellow small nation in Europe, Malta
. This was recorded as Malta's largest win.
The Liechtensteiner Fussballverbund voted Rainer Hasler
to be their "Golden Player" — their best player over the last 50 years — to mark UEFA's golden jubilee.
In the 2010 World Cup qualifiers Liechtenstein secured a scoreless draw against Azerbaijan
and a 1-1 draw against Finland
, finishing bottom of Group 4 on two points.
In the Euro 2012 qualifiers, Liechtenstein were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Scotland
in Hampden Park
thanks to a goal by Stephen McManus
in the seventh minute of additional time. They produced a shock 2–0 win at home against Lithuania
; their goals were scored by Philippe Erne
and Michele Polverino
. In the following qualifying game they managed a scoreless draw away to Lithuania.
