OK, here’s a great one. You may know the name Vaduz. You may even know it’s the capital city of Liechtenstein. But as there’s no national division in that country, teams from there play in the Swiss league system.
Vaduz are…not great. They are in the second tier and this year finished third, but a massive 27 points behind second, which is the promotion playoff spot.
And yet they’ll play in Europe, again. Why? Because while there’s no Liechtenstein league system, there is a Liechtenstein Cup. And guess what? It carries a Europa Conference League qualifying place for winning it, basically guaranteeing Vaduz a place every year. They’ve failed to win it only seven times since 1984 and have tallied 50 cup wins overall, a world record!
It’s actually a famous FM save.
