Text of the page (random words):
portpark eschen mauren opened its doors in 1975 and was liechtenstein s national stadium until the rheinparkstadion was completed the sportpark was renovated during 2004 and 2005 when both the main pitch was moved and the stand was demolished and turned 180 degrees a feature of the complex is a giant cross erected in honour of pope john paul s visit to liechtenstein in september 1985 when he said mass at the ground before an estimated 30000 people the ground has a capacity of around 2000 with a seating capacity of 500 the former main pitch venue for a number of liechtenstein s full international matches now has artificial turf and is the sportpark s second pitch the new main pitch has also hosted a number of internationals including the nati women s team s first home match in april 2021 when they lost 2 1 to luxembourg sportanlage rheinwiese fc schaan football was first played in schaan in 1932 when a club called fc schaan was formed and the fledgling club played their matches on a piece of ground across the road from the village s old mill along with fc balzers fc triesen both founded in the same year and fc vaduz formed a year earlier fc schaan took part in an unofficial liechtensteiner championship which was eventually won by the team from the capital fc schaan won the next edition of the tournament in 1934 when they defeated kickers mülenholz 3 1 kickers had played in the austrian system since their foundation that was as good as it got for them as four years later the club folded due to financial constraints eleven years later a new club of the same name was founded and moved into the newly built sportanlage rheinwiese in 1969 it possesses liechtenstein s premier athletics track as well as a grass pitch and a couple of artificial pitches the lfv s new central hub opened its doors last november almost two and half years after construction began it includes a mini stadium with a capacity of 1000 and a total of five pitches and sees the lfv s training campus move from ruggell local sports clubs including fc schaan will also be based at the lfv campus rheinpark stadion fc vaduz now the only ground in liechtenstein able to hold full international matches the rheinpark stadion looks a lot different now to what it did forty years ago back then it was known as the landessportplatz and it resembled the type of ground one would find in the ninth or tenth level of english football built in the mid 1930s the landessportplatz was used for athletics meetings the most important of which was the national sports day which usually took place every august until the early 1960s a crude athletics track was painted on the ground and once the athletics and other activities were over in late afternoon a liechtenstein representative team would play a club or regional xi from switzerland or austria it also became the home of fc vaduz who have been the dominant force in liechtensteiner football winning over 50 editions of the lfv pokal now known as the liechtensteiner cup and are the only club from the principality to have made it to the top flight of swiss football the rheinpark stadion was modernised in the late 1990s with the first stone being laid in july 1997 and was officially opened on 31 july 1998 the stadium was updated in 2006 to bring it to its present state possessing covered stands on all four sides and a seating capacity of 5873 standing room brings the capacity to 7584 sportpark blumenau fc triesen the village of triesen in the third largest settlement in liechtenstein and its football ground the sportpark blumenau is home to fc triesen and has been since 1943 fc triesen was officially founded on 5 june 1932 although the club played its first match a week earlier against a team from fc balzers winning by 3 goals to 1 the match took place in a torrential downpour on a meadow in hälos a locality situated between triesen and balzers they played there for the entirety of the 1932 33 season much to the displeasure of most of fc triesen s footballers who apparently positively loathed the pitch before moving to a piece of ground behind the schäfle inn a watering hole which exists to this day half of the ground known as the bünt was rented from the inn s owners and the other half from the local municipality after an immense amount of work on the ground rented from the municipality the blumenau as it became known was ready for action in time for the 1933 34 season fc triesen stayed there until 1943 when they left the blumenau for the new purpose built municipality owned sports ground situated a decent cross field pass from the rhine called the blumenau in 1965 the sportpark blumenau was expanded and fc triesen found a new home immediately to the north of the pitch they had called home for over twenty years a small stand changing rooms not to mention liechtenstein s first proper athletics track were built and fc triesen have played there ever since new changing rooms incorporating a viewing platform were built in 2004 a year earlier the sportpark blumenau hosted two matches in the 2003 european under 19 championship finals which were held in liechtenstein nowadays it has a capacity of some 1500 sportanlage leitawis fc triesenberg fc triesenberg is liechtenstein s youngest club having been formed in 1972 and their ground the sportanalage leitawis possesses perhaps the most impressive vista out of all of liechtenstein s football grounds with its unobstructed view of the swiss alps there is no need for photographers to use drone shots to increase dramatic effect here construction of the sportanlage leitawis began in 1968 and was completed the year before fc triesenberg was officially created it consists of three tennis courts a bocca court a skateboard park and two football pitches one of which is lower than the other the lower has a natural surface whilst the other perched as it on top of a car park has a 3g surface and it is this one which is used for fc triesenberg s league and cup matches the ground has an official capacity of 800 with seating for 400 though this needs to be updated somewhat it was renovated a few years ago the old terracing was demolished and a high perimeter wall with built in dug outs was installed with around 60 seats and a widened walkway directly above them sportplatz rheinau fc balzers fc balzers have led quite a nomadic existence in the ninety three years of the club s existence albeit within the confines of the main part of balzers commune which is split into three small parts balzers and the adjoining village of mäls and two small exclaves within the liechtensteiner alps the club s first home was the riet sports field situated behind a restaurant of the same name on the rietstrasse where the new club played its first match in may 1932 they remained there until the outbreak of the second world war when they were forced to hand the pitch over to the liechtensteiner government as part of a drive to increase food production and achieve self sufficiency fcb found a new pitch on a patch of ground belonging to a local doctor alban vogt but they were destined to leave there too after it was discovered that the goalposts were torn down and broken in 1941 there was a hiatus until 1943 when a number of locals took to playing football again and they constructed the sportpark ritsch named after the last austrian customs officer to serve in balzers after the second world war students at the local gutenberg lyceum named after one of balzers most famous landmarks gutenberg castle which is situated at the summit of a rocky outcrop with the same name were playing football late into the evening at their football pitch on the frauenbergweg at the foot of gutenberg together with some of the fc balzers players using lamps as lighting eventually floodlights were installed so that the students could continue to pursue their hobby the floodlights are long gone both both the gutenberg lyceum and the football pitch remain meanwhile fc balzers continued to play at the sportpark ritsch and did so until the mid 1950s when it was decided to renovate the ground and much needed not to say much appreciated changing rooms were installed the renovations took four years and the team played their football just across the swiss border at fc trubbach s ground until their own home base was ready for them again in august 1959 by the mid 1960s though there was a general dissatisfaction amongst fc balzers players and staff with the sportpark ritsch and the local council agreed with the club and decided to build a new sports complex in 1966 the sportpark ritsch was left behind in the 1966 close season and fcb spent the 1966 67 season playing at at temporary pitch on the kohlbruckweg fc balzers new home the sportanlage rheinau situated next to a dyke along the river rhine was taking shape and the first of three pitches at the complex was ready to play on in the spring of 1967 the ground was officially inaugurated in 1970 and fcb have remained there ever since a sports hall was built a year later and more recently seating was installed on the dyke and a small public playing field was installed the sportanlage rheinau has a capacity of some 2500 making it liechtenstein s second biggest ground former clubs and grounds prestaplatz fc eschen fc eschen was founded on 29 march 1960 but the prestaplatz named after the factory on the other side of the road was made ready the year before it was built on the site of the old presta factory with the lower end of the pitch facing a marsh within two years of its construction however it was clear that the pitch was actually sinking at the marsh end and no matter how much the local council attempted to shore up the pitch first by completely filling in the pitch from the half way line down towards the marsh the problem continued so much so in fact that the fencing around the pitch had actually completely disappeared at the lower end at the upper end meanwhile were remnants of the old presta factory wall which didn t help the soil quality much fencing was put up again but the problem of subsidence never completely disappeared fc eschen became usv eschen in 1965 and joined forces with fc mauren two years later to become usv eschen mauren the name of the club changed but the prestaplatz kept springing surprises on its users in the early seventies the pitch was suffering under continual wear and tear and the club s volunteers were kept busy shoring up the pitch and installing drainage if that wasn t enough there was also a plague of mice to contend with they had found and colonised the prestaplatz to the extent that the pitch looked as though someone had set off mines all over it the club s volunteers and youth teams tried a number of methods to alleviate the problem among them was piping petrol fumes from mopeds into the mouseholes in order to drive out the mice but none of them worked only when carbide was pumped into the mouseholes was the problem solved legend has it that hundreds upon hundreds of mice were seen hot footing it in the direction of schaan a couple of years later in 1975 usv eschen mauren were finally able to leave their accursed prestaplatz and move to the brand new sportpark eschen mauren where they have remained ever since hinterbühlen ac mauren widely reckoned to be the first football club to founded on liechtensteiner soil records are fairly scant about the existence of ac mauren but they do show that the club held training sessions in the spring of 1927 the club was founded by a ten year old called andreas marxer who had caught the football bug whilst accompanying his father on a business trip to hungary matches were played on a pitch situated on hinterbühlen on the south eastern outskirts of town the surface of which marker described as little more than a herb garden and poles donated by the local forest ranger were used as goalposts they were notable for the participation of one ottilia gstöhl marxer andreas s sister and presumed to be the very first female footballer in liechtenstein ac mauren basically consisted of a bunch of schoolboys and ottilia and didn t take part in any competitions five years later andreas marxer moved to switzerland and the club simply ceased to exist ziegelmahd the nendeln gang the northern village of nendeln was one of the first places in liechtenstein to host football matches and they took place at the ziegelmahd area on the outskirts of the village in the early 1930s on what is now the hilti hardware distribution warehouse a stone s throw from the country s official main train station which is little more than a rudimentary station with a small concrete slab between two railway tracks a group of local youths got together to clear some waste ground and set up two sets of goalposts both of which had different dimensions recalled one of the youths who took part in many of the kickabouts most of which took place after school although no official football club was ever set up let alone official matches being played at ziegelmahd the games were remarkable for the fact that they were probably the first in liechtenstein in which more than one girl took part fc schaan 1932 38 football was first played in schaan in 1932 when a club called fc schaan was formed and the fledgling club played their matches on a piece of ground across the road from the village s old mill along with fc balzers fc triesen both founded in the same year and fc vaduz formed a year earlier fc schaan took part in an unofficial liechtensteiner championship which was eventually won by the team from the capital fc schaan won the next edition of the tournament in 1934 when they defeated kickers mühleholz 3 1 it was to be the last time either club appeared in a final kickers folded in early 1935 whilst fc schaan struggled on for a further three years unti the club ceased operations in 1938 due to financial constraints it was to be eleven years before another club was founded in schaan kickers fc platz kickers mühleholz two versions of kickers mühleholz exist in the annals of liechtensteiner football one which existed from 1947 to 1950 and which played on a pitch adjacent to the vaduz tennis club and the first which was founded at some point in 1928 the district of mühleholz is the northernmost part of vaduz commune but the team s ground which became known as the kickers fc platz was actually metres over the border in schaan commune the team existed from 1928 to 1935 and were the first club from liechtenstein to play in an official championship when they joined the austrian state of voralberg s football association in the year of their foundation kickers joined the newly forked liechtensteiner fußball verband in 1934 and played in the final of that year s unofficial liechtenstein championship where they lost 3 1 to fc schaan it was to be the club s last hurrah as it folded in early 1935 and the original kickers fc platz is now the site of the freibad mühleholz which was renovated during 2024 and reopened ...
