Local sports and exercise network

The sports and exercise landscape in Liechtenstein is diverse. The establishment of local sport and exercise networks supports targeted, coordinated and efficient promotion. Sport and physical activity coordinators provide the impetus for this and network the stakeholders in sport, such as healthcare providers, clubs, authorities, schools, private individuals and other partners in their region.

There is close cooperation between the state and municipalities in the development of local sport and exercise networks.

Community requirements

The establishment of a local sports and exercise network is supported by the municipality and the state. A responsible office is installed in the municipal administration (at least 20 percent of the job). The topics of sport, exercise and health in the municipality are thus given greater importance and the various stakeholders are given a point of contact.

The municipality draws up a concept with the following content:

- Initial situation

- Goals

- Deadlines and milestones

- Budget for the "Sports Coordination" position

- The concept forms the basis for cooperation between the state and the municipality.

Support from the state (Sports Department)

In order to anchor sports coordination in the municipalities and to establish the development of local or regional sports and exercise networks, the province provides start-up funding per year and municipality (association).

Is your municipality interested in a free consultation and support in creating a concept?

You are welcome to find out more about the possibilities from the Sports Department.
