Austria Wien

Reasons To Adopt

Adopting Austria Wien means Austria Bundesliga results start mattering to you, a club going since 1911. Not a novelty, a habit.

• 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

  1911 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: Wiener Cup (2) and Jeunesse et des Etudiants de Jeux Sportif (1). Small enough to recite from memory, big enough to argue about in a pub.

• Close to the pitch

  Generali Arena holds about 17,565. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.
