The Austria national football team (called Österreichische Fußballnationalmannschaft in German) represents Austria in international men's football games. The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) manages the team.

The ÖFB started on March 18, 1904. In the 1930s, under coach Hugo Meisl, Austria's team was known as the "Wunderteam" (Miracle Team). They were very strong in European football. They finished fourth in the 1934 FIFA World Cup and won a silver medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics.

In 1938, Austria became part of Germany. This meant the ÖFB stopped existing. Austrian players then joined the German national team for the 1938 World Cup.

After World War II, Austria's team was re-established. They had great success in the 1954 FIFA World Cup, finishing third. They also beat England at Wembley Stadium in 1965. The team had ups and downs in later decades.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Austria played well again. They reached the second round in the 1978 and 1982 World Cups. A famous win against West Germany happened in 1978.

The 1990s and 2000s were challenging. Austria didn't qualify for many big tournaments. They co-hosted UEFA Euro 2008 with Switzerland, which was their first time in the UEFA European Championship.

Since 2016, the team has been doing much better. They qualified for UEFA Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024. They also qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after 28 years, with coach Ralf Rangnick.

The History of Austrian Football

Early Days and the "Wunderteam"

The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) began on March 18, 1904. In the 1930s, the team became very famous. Under coach Hugo Meisl, they were called the "Wunderteam" (Miracle Team). Their star player was Matthias Sindelar. On May 16, 1931, they were the first team from mainland Europe to beat Scotland.

In the 1934 FIFA World Cup, Austria finished fourth. They lost to Italy in the semi-finals. Then, they lost to Germany in the third-place match.

A moment from the Austria v Peru match at the 1936 Olympics.

At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, a game between Peru and Austria caused some discussion. Peru won 4–2 in extra time. However, there were reports of fans running onto the field. The game was ordered to be replayed without spectators. Peru refused to play again and left the Olympics. Austria went on to reach the final but lost to Italy.

Austria qualified for the 1938 FIFA World Cup. However, in March 1938, Austria became part of Germany. The ÖFB was then closed. Austrian players had to join the German national team for the World Cup. Star player Matthias Sindelar chose not to play for the combined team. Austria's spot in the tournament was left empty.

Post-War Success and Challenges

The Austria national football team in 1958. Standing (left to right): Walter Horak, Ernst Happel, Karl Koller, Alfred Körner, Paul Halla, Walter Schleger. Crouched: Helmut Senekowitsch, Gerhard Hanappi, Rudolf Szanwald, Franz Swoboda, and Johann Buzek.

The team started again in 1945. They achieved their best World Cup result in 1954, finishing third. In that tournament, their 7-5 win against Switzerland set a record for the most goals in a World Cup match.

During the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, Austria played West Germany. Both teams knew that a 1-0 win for West Germany would allow both to advance. After an early goal by West Germany, the teams played without much effort for the rest of the game. This match led to a new rule: the last group matches in tournaments are now played at the same time.

21st Century: Ups and Downs

Early 2000s: A Period of Decline

Austria automatically qualified for UEFA Euro 2008 because they were co-hosts. This was their first big tournament in ten years. Many people thought they would not do well. However, Austria managed a 1–1 draw with Poland. They lost 1–0 to both Croatia and Germany.

2010s: Revival and Setbacks

Austria playing against Germany in a 2014 World Cup qualification match on September 11, 2012.

After co-hosting UEFA Euro 2008, Austria's team, led by coach Marcel Koller, qualified for the UEFA Euro 2016 on their own. This photo shows their celebration after a win against Liechtenstein on October 12, 2015.

Austria had a great qualifying campaign for UEFA Euro 2016. But the tournament itself was tough. They were in a group with Hungary, Portugal, and Iceland. Austria lost 0–2 to Hungary. They drew 0–0 with Portugal, where Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty. They then lost 1–2 to Iceland and were eliminated with only one point.

2020s: Tournament Breakthroughs and Growth

At UEFA Euro 2020 (played in 2021), Austria reached the knockout stage for the first time. They finished second in their group. They beat North Macedonia and Ukraine. In the Round of 16, they lost a close game to Italy 2–1 after extra time.

Austria also qualified for UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. They were in Group D with France, the Netherlands, and Poland. Austria finished first in their group, which was a historic achievement. However, they were eliminated in the Round of 16 after a 2–1 loss to Turkey.

The team is currently playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They are in Group J.

Team Rivalries

Austria and Hungary have played each other many times. It is the second most-played international football match. However, since World War II, Germany has been Austria's biggest rival.

Team Kits and Crest

The home kit for the national team is usually a white shirt, black shorts, and white socks. These colors come from the Teutonic Order. Their away kit traditionally uses the flag colors: red shirt, white shorts, and red socks. In 2004, coach Hans Krankl changed the main kit to red. He wanted the kit to match the Austrian flag (red-white-red) and be different from their neighbors. The away shirt color has changed several times since then.
