About SV Grödig

SV Grödig is an Austrian football club based in Grödig, in the state of Salzburg, founded on 20 March 1948. For most of its history, the club played in the regional leagues of Salzburg and remained outside the national spotlight. It gradually climbed through the Austrian football pyramid, especially from the early 2000s, when it achieved a series of promotions that brought it closer to professional football.

The club’s breakthrough came in the 2012–13 season, when SV Grödig won the Austrian First League (second division) and earned promotion to the Austrian Bundesliga for the first time in its history. Under coach Adi Hütter, the team quickly adapted to top-flight football and surprised many by performing strongly in its debut Bundesliga season.

Between 2013 and 2016, Grödig competed in the Austrian Bundesliga and even qualified for the UEFA Europa League in the 2014–15 season, marking the peak of its success. However, after the 2015–16 season, the club withdrew from professional top-level football due to financial and licensing decisions and dropped several tiers, returning to regional competition where it continues to play today.
