Austria Lustenau

The Case For Them

Austria Lustenau work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Austria, Planet Pure Stadion Lustenau, Austria, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Austria Bundesliga means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Austria becomes part of your week.

• Old enough to matter

  1914 is the founding date, old enough that the club has survived a war, a rebuild and at least one financial scare, young enough that the good years are still in living memory.

• Something to defend

  The cabinet is not empty: Austrian Cup and Austrian Football Second League. Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Close to the pitch

  Planet Pure Stadion Lustenau, Austria holds about 5,138. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
