Liechtenstein national under-21 football team

(Redirected from Liechtenstein Olympic football team)

The Liechtenstein national under-21 football team represents the under-21s of Liechtenstein in the UEFA U-21 Championship, and is controlled by the Liechtenstein Football Association, the governing body of football in Liechtenstein. On 5 October 2022, it was announced that this team would be dissolved for 2023 and 2024, and would return in time for the UEFA U21-Championship 2027 qualification campaign. This decision was made because most of the higher quality players in this age category would end up playing for the senior team.[1]

Overview

edit

The Liechtenstein under-21s first attempted to qualify for the UEFA U-21 Championship in 2006, where they played a home-and-home against Northern Ireland, losing 1–8 on aggregate, thus being eliminated from qualifying.

The Liechtenstein under-21s lost their first 59 competitive fixtures, being outscored 232–17. They avoided defeat for the first time on 6 June 2019, beating Azerbaijan during qualifying for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship tournament.[2]
