TunisiaHistory of the Austria national team
Founding and Early Years
The Austria national team is governed by the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), founded in 1904. It experienced its golden age in the 1930s, under the nickname "Wunderteam," finishing 4th at the 1934 World Cup.
Team Evolution
After quieter decades, Austria regained its status as a competitive nation on the European stage, driven by a generation of players playing in the biggest leagues.
Great Managers
Ralf Rangnick, the German head coach renowned for his modern tactical approach, now leads Austria, continuing the legacy of the 1930s Wunderteam.
Iconic Players
Matthias Sindelar, an icon of the 1930s Wunderteam and regarded as one of the greatest players of his era, remains the historic benchmark of Austrian football. David Alaba, current captain and one of the most decorated defenders in European football history, now carries that legacy forward.
Major Achievements
Austria finished 4th at the 1934 World Cup with the legendary Wunderteam. At the 2026 World Cup, they were eliminated in the Round of 32 by Spain (0-3), following a group stage that included a thrilling draw with Algeria (3-3).
The Team Today
Under Ralf Rangnick, Austria rank among the respected nations of the European continent in the FIFA World Ranking.
