Biggest defeat

The Liechtenstein national under-23+ football team (German: Liechtensteinische U23+-Fussballnationalmannschaft) is the reserve national team for Liechtenstein, intended for players who do not warrant a full national team call-up to show their ability. This was announced on 5 October 2022, after announcing the dissolution of the under-21 team. The team plays friendly matches against teams of a similar quality and will allow both older and younger players to participate.[1]
