Rheinpark Stadion History

Rheinpark Stadion first opened on the 31st July 1998 with a friendly match between resident side, FC Vaduz, who were the current Liechtenstein Cup holders at the time and then Bundesliga Champions 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Located within the microstate of Liechtenstein which borders Switzerland and Austria with a population below 38,000, unsurprisingly the home side lost 8-nil to their larger German counterparts.

Sitting on the banks of the River Rhine which is where the stadium inherits its name from, Rheinpark Stadion is a few yards from the Swiss Border situated within the town of Vaduz which acts as the capital city of Liechtenstein.

Constructed at a cost of 19 million Swiss-Francs which equates to around 15.8 million, the stadium has a maximum capacity of 7,584 which includes a reported 5,873 seats.

As the sole representative of Liechtenstein within Swiss Football, FC Vaduz have always been one of the smallest teams in the league since forming in 1932. As regular winners of the Liechtenstein Football Cup, the club were granted entry into the now defunct UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup but failed to progress further than the first round.

Rheinpark Stadion hosted the likes of Chornomorets Odesa and Paris Saint-Germain in this tournament but failed to progress past the qualification rounds. As well as hosting matches of the National football team in Liechtenstein, Rheinpark hosted a pre-season friendly between Liverpool and Olympiacos in 2005.
