History

Liechtenstein did not have a national team by 2006 on either the senior or youth level. The women's national team did not play in any FIFA sanctioned matches.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4][5] 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.[6]

Liechtenstein's U16 and U18 girls' national teams have been in existence by 2017.[4] UEFA listed the senior national women's side as a U19 B team.[4]
