European Championship
Austria have become European Championship regulars under Rangnick's leadership, reaching the Round of 16 at both Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. Their impressive performances at recent tournaments have established Das Team as genuine contenders on the European stage, and fans can look forward to another competitive qualifying campaign for Euro 2028.
Nations League
The Nations League has been an important competition in Austria's rise. It provides competitive matches against top European sides and has helped Rangnick build the cohesion and identity that powered their World Cup qualification.
International Friendlies
Austria regularly play international friendlies as preparation for major tournaments. With the World Cup 2026 approaching, Rangnick will use upcoming friendlies to fine-tune his squad and test tactical variations ahead of the biggest matches of this generation's careers.
About the Austria National Team
| Official Name | Austria National Football Team |
| Nickname | Das Team |
| Manager | Ralf Rangnick |
| Captain | David Alaba |
| Home Stadium | Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Vienna (50,865 capacity) |
| Federation | Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), founded 1904 |
| World Ranking | Top 25 (among Europe's most improved) |
| Kit Colours | White (home), Red and black (away) |
| Major Honours | World Cup 3rd place (1954), Olympic silver medal (1936) |
Austrian football has a rich and storied history. The ÖFB was founded in 1904 during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and during the 1930s the legendary "Wunderteam" under coach Hugo Meisl became one of the dominant forces in European football, finishing fourth at the 1934 World Cup. After the Anschluss in 1938 temporarily dissolved the national team, Austria re-emerged after World War II to claim their finest World Cup result — third place in 1954, a tournament that also produced the record for the most goals in a single World Cup match (Austria 7-5 Switzerland).
Ralf Rangnick has transformed Austria since his appointment in 2022. The German coaching pioneer — famous for developing the pressing philosophy that influenced modern football through his work at Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, Schalke and the wider Red Bull football network — has instilled a clear, aggressive game model. His squad combines the tactical discipline of his pressing system with the technical quality of players competing at the highest levels of European club football. The result has been Round of 16 runs at two consecutive European Championships and, finally, a return to the World Cup after 28 years.
Key Austria Players
Marko Arnautović — Record Breaker
Austria's all-time record appearance maker (130+ caps) and all-time top scorer (47+ goals), Marko Arnautović is the towering figure of modern Austrian football. The former West Ham and Inter Milan striker scored eight goals in World Cup qualifying — including four in a historic 10-0 win over San Marino — to break Toni Polster's long-standing goalscoring record. At the 2026 World Cup, the veteran forward will lead Austria's line in what promises to be the crowning chapter of a remarkable international career.
David Alaba — The Captain
One of the most decorated players in European football history, David Alaba has won Champions League titles, multiple Bundesliga crowns with Bayern Munich and domestic honours with Real Madrid. With 111+ caps as captain, his versatility across defence and midfield provides Austria with a world-class presence and invaluable leadership. The 2026 World Cup represents a long-awaited opportunity for Alaba to shine on the global stage.
Marcel Sabitzer — The Engine
A product of the Red Bull development pathway, Marcel Sabitzer has built an impressive career at RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United. His attacking production from midfield, deep Champions League experience and tireless work rate make him one of Austria's most important players and a perfect fit for Rangnick's high-intensity system.
Konrad Laimer — The Pressing Machine
Another graduate of the Red Bull system, Konrad Laimer epitomises Rangnick's playing style. The Bayern Munich midfielder's relentless pressing, tactical intelligence and versatility make him a key figure in Austria's engine room. His ability to win the ball high up the pitch and transition quickly into attack is central to how Das Team play.
Michael Gregoritsch — The Impact Man
The Brøndby striker has a knack for scoring crucial goals, including the decisive equaliser against Bosnia and Herzegovina that sealed Austria's World Cup qualification. Gregoritsch's ability to change games from the bench or when starting gives Rangnick a valuable attacking option.
Austria's Tournament History
Austria's tournament history spans nearly a century, from the "Wunderteam" era of the 1930s through decades of near-misses to their current renaissance. The 2026 World Cup marks their eighth appearance at the tournament and first since 1998.
| Tournament | Appearances | Best Result | Notable Moment |
|---|---|---|---|
| World Cup | 7 (8th in 2026) | 🥉 Third place (1954) | Hans Krankl's legendary brace against West Germany in Córdoba at the 1978 World Cup — "Tor! Tor! Tor!" |
| European Championship | 4 | Round of 16 (2020, 2024) | Back-to-back Round of 16 appearances under Rangnick, including a stunning win over the Netherlands at Euro 2024 |
| Nations League | Multiple editions | League A participant | Competed regularly against Europe's elite, building the foundations for World Cup qualification |
| Olympic Games | Multiple | 🥈 Silver medal (1936) | Runners-up at the Berlin Olympics during the "Wunderteam" era |
Austria's Tournament Record at a Glance
| Stat | Record |
|---|---|

| Record World Cup win | 7-5 vs Switzerland (1954) — most goals in a single WC match ever |
Austria's World Cup story is one of highs, heartbreaks and long waits. Their 1954 third-place finish featured the extraordinary 7-5 win over Switzerland — still the highest-scoring match in World Cup history. In 1978, Hans Krankl's unforgettable double against West Germany in Córdoba produced one of football's most iconic commentary moments. And the 1982 World Cup group stage between Austria, West Germany and Algeria remains one of the tournament's most controversial chapters — the "Disgrace of Gijón." Remarkably, Austria and Algeria are reunited in Group J at the 2026 World Cup, 44 years later.
After decades of near-misses and frustrating qualifying campaigns, Rangnick's Austria have finally returned to the World Cup. With a squad that combines veteran leadership, Bundesliga quality and a clear tactical identity, Das Team head to 2026 with genuine belief they can progress from the group.
