<span class="mw-page-title-main">Liechtenstein Football Championship</span>

In the early 1930s, association football in Liechtenstein was quickly growing in popularity. In 1931, FC Ruggell was founded, whilst in 1932, FC Vaduz, FC Balzers, FC Triesen and FC Schaan were founded. Despite the growing interest of football in Liechtenstein, there was no FA, and hence no league for Liechtenstein, meaning that Liechtensteiner clubs had to play in different leagues,. Due to this, there was no definitive way to decide the champions of the country, and therefore, a group of Liechtensteiner clubs came together to form the Liechtenstein FA.
