About Wiener Sport-Club

Wiener Sport-Club is one of the oldest sports institutions in Austria, founded in 1883 in Vienna. Originally established as a multi-sport club, it included a wide range of disciplines such as cycling, fencing, athletics, and tennis before football became one of its most prominent sections. The club is based in the Dornbach district and plays its home matches at the historic Wiener Sport-Club Stadium, one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in the country.

The football team achieved its greatest success in the early and mid-20th century, winning three Austrian league titles in 1922, 1958, and 1959, as well as the Austrian Cup in 1923. One of the club’s most famous achievements came in 1958, when it defeated Juventus 7–0 in the European Cup, marking one of the most remarkable results in Austrian club football history. During this period, Wiener Sport-Club was also competitive in European competitions, reaching the quarter-finals of the European Cup.

In the later decades, the club faced financial difficulties, including bankruptcies in the 1990s, which led to its decline and relegation to lower divisions. In 2001, the football section separated as Wiener Sportklub before being reintegrated into the main club in 2017. Today, Wiener Sport-Club competes in the Austrian Regionalliga East (third tier) but remains an important historical club known for its traditions, loyal fanbase, and contribution to Austrian football.
