Liechtenstein-Sweden 0-3
Venue: Rheinpark Stadion, Vaduz.
Attendance: 4,131 (Capacity 6,100)

Pictures: Rheinpark Stadion




With Liechtenstein not having neither an airport nor a railway station the trip to Vaduz was always going be an adventure. I decided to fly out to Zürich on friday evening and was at my hotel by 11pm. The following morning I took the train to Sargans where the bus to Vaduz is going from and arrived at my hotel (which was situated beneath the castle in Vaduz. See Pic 1 and Pic 2 of Schloss Vaduz) shortly after noon

The Swedish fans had decided to use Rathausplatz as "base" and with that being next to my hotel it was never going to be a boring afternoon. I went down to the ground in the afternoon and was actually allowed inside to get some pictures !
The ground is next to the river Rhein, which is the border to Switzerland and in This picture you can see how close the ground is to the Rhein.

After some rest and having something to eat and drink I decided to enter the ground approx. an hour prior to kick-off to take some pictures before sunset. After a while Marc04 (member on this board and the man behind stadionbesuch.de) met up with me and we had some long and interesting discussions ! The match itself was like another day in the office, 3-0 to Sweden and we are so close to EURO2008 now.

Nice report...in a few days I will write of other interesting grounds near Vaduz (Feldkirch, Rankweil, Lustenau, Dornbirn etc...)

Looks like they've added a stand at each end from when england played their few years back if I remember correctly?

Absolute correct, they added a stand at each end. The stadium has now a capacity of 6'127, for the England game it was 3'654.

Very tidy little ground. Perfect model for non-league clubs to aspire to, without going down the mondrome chairman ego trip.

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip there with NI.
