2011 Games of the Small States of Europe
The 14th Games of the Small States of Europe will be held 30 May – 4 June 2011 in multiple cities in Liechtenstein. The Games will feature competition by the 9 members of the GSSE in nine sports, with three of the sports featuring seven disciplines. Events will be located in nine or 10 different cities throughout the country.
Liechtenstein was not opposed in their bid for the 2011 Games, possibly because it was the country's turn to host the Games based on the event's rotation.[1] The 2011 Games will mark the second time Liechtenstein has hosted the Games, following the country's hosting of the 8th edition in 1999. These were the first games with the participation of Montenegro.[2]
