Rheinpark Stadium Vaduz to be modernized and expanded

Over the next ten years, Rheinpark Stadium Vaduz will be modernized and expanded with new sports and leisure facilities. The aim is to create an attractive exercise landscape with a wide range of sports and leisure activities, whereby popular sports will be strengthened and elite and competitive sports will continue to play a central role.

Separation of popular and elite sport

Up to now, grassroots sport has been integrated into the infrastructure of the Rheinpark Stadium, but has increasingly had to subordinate itself to elite and competitive sport. The local council has therefore decided to separate grassroots sport from the stadium and create separate, needs-based sports and leisure areas. This enables both areas to be promoted on an equal footing.

Master plan as a basis

A comprehensive master plan serves as an instrument for the development of the Rheinpark Stadium and its surroundings. The framework conditions and requirements were defined in dialogue with the sports commission, the Rheinpark team, sports clubs active at the sports facility and emergency services and rescue organizations. Implementation will take place in several stages over ten years, starting in 2025. The phased implementation allows costs to be spread over several years and ensures smooth implementation during ongoing operations.

The individual projects within the stages are each formulated and reviewed in a project development phase. For each investment and renovation project, an application for project and credit approval is submitted to the municipal council at the appropriate time.

Planned measures and stages

The modernization and expansion are divided into several construction phases:

• Stage A (2025 to 2026): Relocation and renovation of children's playground, recommissioning of mini playing field (piccolo field), start of construction of soft running track, LED conversion of the lighting and emergency lighting system in the stadium
