About SV Horn

SV Horn is an Austrian football club based in the town of Horn in Lower Austria, founded on 21 October 1922. The team traditionally plays in blue and white, reflecting the city’s colors, and hosts its home matches at the Sparkasse Horn Arena, which has a capacity of around 3,500–4,000 spectators. For most of its history, the club competed in regional leagues and remained a modest provincial side.

The club’s rise began in the late 20th and early 21st century, when it achieved success in regional competitions and gradually climbed the Austrian football system. Its greatest achievement came in the 2007–08 season, when SV Horn won the Austrian Cup. However, this edition of the competition did not include top-tier clubs, which makes the victory somewhat unique in Austrian football history.

In more recent years, SV Horn has fluctuated between the second and third tiers of Austrian football. The club gained international attention in 2015 when Japanese star Keisuke Honda, through his management company, acquired a significant stake, aiming to develop the club further. Although the project was later scaled back, SV Horn continues to compete as a stable regional club, most recently playing in the Regionalliga East after relegation from the 2. Liga.
