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.

1.10 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Eesti jalgpallikoondis peab oma 2010. aasta viimase kodumängu kolmapäeval, 17. novembril kell 18:45 Tallinnas A. Le Coq Arenal, kus sõprusmängus on vastaseks Liechtenstein. Eesti ja Liechtenstein on varem jalgpallimurul kohtunud kolm korda ning kõik senised matšid on võitnud Eesti. 1993. aastal sai Eesti tänu Sergei Bragini ja Lembit Rajala väravatele võõrsil peetud sõprusmängus 2:0 võidu, 2004. aastal samuti võõrsil toimunud MM-valikkohtumises teeniti Kristen Viikmäe ja Joel Lindpere tabamustest võit skooriga 2:1. Viimati oldi vastamisi 2005. aastal MM-valikmängus A. Le Coq Arenal, kus Andrei Stepanovi ja Andres Operi väravad aitasid meid 2:0 võiduni. Liechtensteini silmapaistvamateks tulemusteks on olnud 1:0 võit EM-valikmängus Läti üle (2007), 3:0 võit EM-valikmängus Islandi üle (2007), 2:2 viik MM-valikmängus Portugaliga (2004), 1:0 võit sõprusmängus Saudi Araabia üle (2003), 2:1 võit EM-valikmängus Aserbaidžaani üle (1998) ning 0:0 viik EM-valikmängus Iirimaaga (1995). Liechtensteini koondise jaoks olid kordaminekud ka 1:1 viik MM-valikmängus Soomega (2009), 0:0 viik MM-valikmängus Aserbaidžaaniga (2008), 0:0 viik MM-valikmängus Slovakkiaga (2005), 1:1 viik EM-valikmängus Makedooniaga (2002), 0:0 viigid sõprusmängudes Põhja-Iirimaa (2002) ning Bosnia ja Hertsegoviinaga (1999) ning väravateta viik valikkohtumises Ungariga (1999). Omavahelistes mängudes on vaid 35 500 elanikuga Liechtenstein alistanud ka üle 500 000 elanikuga Luksemburgi - näiteks 2006. aasta MM <b>...</b>
