Their first official match came two years later, a 0-1 defeat to Switzerland. Liechtenstein's largest win, a 4-0 win over Luxembourg in a 2006 World Cup qualifier on 13 October 2004, was both its first away win ever and its first win in any World Cup qualifier. Liechtenstein's coach Martin Andermatt is also the manager of the Liechtenstein team FC Vaduz, which, like all the country's clubs, plays in the Swiss league system. He was appointed in March 2004, taking over from Ralf Loose.

Four days before Liechtenstein scored its first win in World Cup qualifying, the team made even more headlines with a stunning 2-2 draw in Vaduz in a 2006 World Cup qualifier against Portugal, the losing finalists in Euro 2004. Before this result, Liechtenstein had lost all of its previous 20 World Cup qualifiers.
