World Cup 1977 in Tunisia
Austria was represented at the first youth soccer world championship in 1977 together with five other UEFA nations . In Group D, the team met Paraguay (0: 1), Iraq (1: 5) and the Soviet Union (0: 0). After the preliminary round, the tournament was over for the young team. The most famous player of the team was Werner Gregoritsch . Squad for the 1977 World Cup:
- Trainer: Alfred Hohenberger
- Players: Josef Heinisch, Erich Weidenauer; Karl Kolla, Johann Koller, Oswald Steiger, Armin Kunert, Wolfgang Augustin, Peter Netuschill, Heinz Weiss, Gebhard Hammerle, Franz Zore, Werner Gregoritsch , Helmut Wartinger, Peter Müller, Adolf Meyer, Martin Lefor
World Cup 1983 in Mexico
Austria was the only nation from the German-speaking area to qualify for the World Cup finals in 1983 , but was eliminated with no goals or points after the preliminary round. Opponents in Group C were Czechoslovakia (0: 4), Argentina (0: 3) and China (0: 3). Despite this rather disappointing performance at the World Cup, players like Franz Wohlfahrt , Andreas Ogris , Toni Polster and Rupert Marko made it into the senior team of the national team and became permanent fixtures at their clubs. World Cup 1983 roster:
- Trainer: Gerhard Hitzel
- Goal: Franz Wohlfahrt , Walter Obexer, Michael Gabriel
- Defense: Robert Frind, Josef Kleinbichler, Hannes Gort, Michael Strobl
- Midfield: Andreas Cvetko, Alfred Tatar , Alfred Stumpfl, Günter Haizinger, Gerald Rieder, Josef Hrstic
- Storm: Andreas Ogris , Toni Polster , Rupert Marko , Bernd Walcher, Alois Weinrich
World Cup 2007 in Canada
Austria was able to qualify for the 2007 Junior World Cup in Canada by reaching the semi-finals at the U-19 European Football Championship in Poland in 2006 , where it failed because of the eventual winner Spain . In Group A they met Congo, hosts Canada and Chile (0-0). They beat Gambia in the round of 16, just like the USA in the quarter-finals. In the semifinals they met the Czech Republic, which they lost. In the game for third place, the previous group opponent Chile waited, which this time had to admit defeat. The team around captain Sebastian Prödl and coach Paul Gludovatz sparked a small wave of euphoria with this fourth place a year before the home European championship . The quarter-finals, semi-finals and the third place match were even broadcast on ORF .
Squad for the 2007 World Cup:
- Goal: Bartoloměj Kuru , Andreas Lukse , Michael Zaglmair
- Defense: Thomas Panny , Daniel Gramann , Sebastian Prödl , Markus Suttner , Thomas Pirker , Michael Madl , Siegfried Rasswalder

World Cup 2011 in Colombia
Austria qualified together with five other European nations at the U19 European Championship 2010 in France for the U20 World Cup 2011 in Colombia . The selection played in the preliminary round in Group E on July 29 against Panama, on August 1 against Brazil and on August 4 against Egypt. The preparation for the finals was mainly characterized by the fight by coach Heraf to relocate some top performers. The A-team players David Alaba and Aleksandar Dragović received no approval from their club teams. Heraf also had to do without Raphael Holzhauser , whom he assigned a central role in his tactical scheme in advance. Shortly before the entry deadline for the final squad, FC Red Bull Salzburg surprisingly gave the offensive player Georg Teigl the go-ahead, whose release also led to controversy in advance. Martin Hinteregger , a fixed point on the defensive, was denied the release. Of the injuries-related failures, that of Inter-Milan legionnaire Christoph Knasmüllner weighed the heaviest, who had previously performed predominantly in the U19 team. In Colombia, one day before the opening game against Panama, another regular player, Marco Djuricin , fell out due to injury; he was immediately replaced by Radovan Mitrović . In addition, there was a public dispute with his predecessor Paul Gludovatz , who accused him of lacking commitment to the compilation of the squad through the media.
The tournament itself did not go according to plan, as they were eliminated in the preliminary round. Against Panama (0: 0), the eventual world champions Brazil (0: 3) and Egypt (0: 4) they did not score in Group E.
World Cup 2011 squad:
- Goal: Samuel Radlinger , Christoph Riegler , Philip Petermann
- Defense: Richard Windbichler , Emir Dilaver , Lukas Rotpuller , Michael Schimpelsberger , Patrick Farkas , Lukas Rath ,
- Midfield: Tobias Kainz , Kevin Stöger , Robert Gucher , Daniel Offenbacher , Marcel Ziegl , Georg Teigl , Marco Meilinger , Christian Klem , Daniel Schütz
- Forward: Andreas Weimann , Radovan Mitrović , Robert Žulj
2015 World Cup in New Zealand
The Austrians qualified for the U20 World Cup in New Zealand through the 2014 U-19 European Football Championship . In the group stage, the team was able to achieve second place in group B after a win against Panama and two draws against Ghana and Argentina. In the second round, however, they failed to Uzbekistan.
