About Wolfsberger AC

Wolfsberger AC is a professional football club based in Wolfsberg, Carinthia, Austria, founded in 1931. For most of its history, the club played in the lower divisions of Austrian football and remained a regional side without major national success. It is known as RZ Pellets WAC due to sponsorship reasons and plays its home matches at the Lavanttal-Arena, which has a capacity of around 7,300 spectators.

The club’s rise to prominence began in the 21st century, especially after a cooperation period with SK St. Andrä between 2007 and 2012, when the team competed under the name WAC/St. Andrä. In 2012, Wolfsberger won the Austrian First League (second division) and earned promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in its history. In its debut top-flight season (2012–13), the club immediately established itself as a competitive side, finishing in the upper half of the table.

Since then, Wolfsberger AC has become a stable Bundesliga club and has also competed in European competitions, including the UEFA Europa League group stages in 2019–20. The club’s greatest achievement came in 2025, when it won the Austrian Cup, securing its first major national trophy. Today, WAC is considered one of the most consistent mid-table teams in Austria’s top division, known for its steady development and modern professional structure.
