List of Austrian football teams facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Austrian football is super exciting! Just like in many countries, Austria has different levels of football leagues. These leagues are like different divisions where teams play against each other. The best teams play in the top division, and teams can move up or down between these levels based on how well they play. Let's look at the teams and their leagues for the 2010/11 season.

Top League: The Bundesliga

The Bundesliga is the highest level of professional football in Austria. It's where the biggest and best teams compete to become the national champion! For the 2010/11 season, these were the teams in the Bundesliga:

Second League: The Erste Liga

Right below the Bundesliga is the Erste Liga. This is the second highest professional league. The team that wins the Erste Liga gets to move up, or "promote," to the Bundesliga for the next season! Here are the teams that played in the Erste Liga during the 2010/11 season:

Third Level: The Regionalliga

The Regionalliga is the third level of Austrian football. It's different from the top two leagues because it's split into three smaller, regional sections: East, Middle, and West. This means teams mostly play against others from their own part of Austria. A cool rule in the Regionalliga is that the "second teams" (often called "Amateure" or "Juniors") of clubs from the first division are not allowed to move up to the Second Division, even if they win their Regionalliga section. This helps keep the professional leagues for the main teams.
