Sports facilities 

The State has repeatedly been able to provide important assistance in creating and improving existing sports infrastructure. The best example is the construction of the Rhine Park Stadium in Vaduz, which was subsidized by the State. This beautiful small stadium, offering seating for about 3500 spectators, was inaugurated after about one year of construction on 15 July 1998.

The modern facility with a regional character is now primarily used for soccer. The Liechtenstein Football Association plays its home games in the Rhine Park and in the future will also conduct the Cup final here, and FC Vaduz also plays its championship games here as the home team. In order to fulfill international standards, the stadium was built in compliance with the internationally applicable norms of the world soccer federation FIFA and the European soccer union UEFA. The facility is, however, also available for other sports and events (concerts, etc.). On 24 May 1999, the opening ceremony of the 8th Small States of Europe Games, the Lie-Games 1999, took place.

Other important examples of State support of the construction of sports facilities are the track and field facility in Schaan and the Center Court of the tennis facility in Vaduz. In addition to this support in the form of State subsidies, the State also provides its own buildings and facilities for the use of Liechtenstein sports. All State efforts in the field of infrastructure are borne by the idea that the needs of all interest and age groups must be taken into account to the extent possible, and they should also fulfill the requirements of economic efficiency. Sports and recreational facilities should become meeting places for healthy recreational activities.
