About Wiener Neustadt SC

Wiener Neustädter SC (2008) is a modern Austrian football club based in Wiener Neustadt, Lower Austria. It was founded on 19 May 2008 as FC Magna Wiener Neustadt after the takeover of SC Schwanenstadt’s league licence, with strong financial backing from businessman Frank Stronach and his company Magna International. The club quickly became a professional structure and used the Wiener Neustadt Arena as its home ground.

In its debut season (2008–09), the club achieved immediate success by winning the Austrian First League and earning promotion to the Bundesliga. Shortly after, it merged with the traditional club 1. Wiener Neustädter SC (1908), forming SC Wiener Neustadt while continuing to compete at the top level of Austrian football.

During the 2010s, the club spent several seasons in the Austrian Bundesliga, achieving mid-table stability but later suffering financial and sporting difficulties. In 2019 it lost its professional license and dropped to lower divisions. The club was later rebranded again as 1. Wiener Neustädter SC, continuing its existence in regional football while maintaining links to the original football tradition in Wiener Neustadt.
