History

Liechtenstein did not have a women's national team by 2006 at either the senior or youth level. In 2013, President of the Liechtenstein Football Association (LIV) Matthias Voigt said he was committed towards working on the creation of a women's national team, and pointed to the activity level in the women's domestic competition. [5] Despite this comment, the federation had no staff dedicated to women's football as of 2017 and also did not have a women's football committee. Inclusion of women in governance was also limited, with only one woman serving on a committee and only five women serving in managerial positions within the organization. [6] [7] Progress on the development front as a result of activities by the LFV were part of the reason that Radio Liechtenstein cited in September 2017 the time to create a senior women's national team. [8]

Liechtenstein's U16 and U18 girls' national teams had already been in existence by 2017. [6] UEFA listed the senior national women's side as a U19 B team. [6]
