The first Simmeringer Sports Club , just 1 SSC or ISSC , is an Austrian football club from the eleventh Viennese district of Simmering .

history

Founding history

The 1st Simmering Amateur SC was founded in 1892. When the soccer section was founded in 1901, the name was changed to 1. Simmeringer SC. In the first Austrian soccer championship in 1912 , the 1st SSC took fifth place. However, you could win both games against the first Austrian champions SK Rapid Vienna .

The successful years

The club's most successful years were the early 1920s. It was here that the greatest success in club history was achieved in 1926 with third place in the championship. However, this was followed by financial problems and finally relegation to the second division in 1928. Only ten years later, shortly before the Second World War, was promoted for one season.

Post-war and economic ruin

After the Second World War, the 1st SSC was able to establish itself again in the top Austrian league. They played a total of 13 years, from 1951 to 1964, without interruption in the first division and took part in the Mitropacup . Ultimately, the club fell victim to the 1974 ÖFB reform, in which the first division was reduced to ten clubs - but these were not chosen on the basis of sports, but on regional considerations. This was followed by forced relegation, from which the club never really recovered, neither athletically nor economically.

In the period that followed, 1. Simmeringer SC kept rising and falling , until finally, in 1982, after a renewed promotion to the 1. Bundesliga and last place in the following 1982/1983 season, the sporting crash and financial ruin followed.

Back and forth

It was not until 1994 that the club was able to enforce a compulsory compensation, and from now on it was possible to look upwards again in terms of sport and finance. In the meantime, with the player and then coach Andi Ogris , the promotion to the Regionalliga Ost could be achieved again and again , in which the club could never last long.

A success from this time was at least the advance in the ÖFB Cup 1999/2000 to the round of 16, where they were eliminated 0: 1 on a Simmeringer Had bursting at the seams in front of 6,000 spectators against SV Austria Salzburg . Until then, the former Bundesliga club SV Ried was eliminated.

Crash and way out of the crisis

After the sporting and renewed financial relegation in 2007/08 from the Vienna City League , the fourth highest Austrian level, the 1. Simmeringer SC managed to immediately rise again after a season in the Oberliga A with the new coach Karl Brauneder and the new team member in winter , internationally experienced Alen Orman . In this season not only the athletic advancement was planned and achieved, but also the economic situation could be put back on stable feet.

For the 2009/2010 season in the Vienna City League, experienced players such as Thomas Reitprecht or the ex-international Marcus Pürk could be signed, who also returned to their old place of work, but both left the club in the winter.

In spring 2010, renovation work began on the artificial turf pitch, which was reopened in summer 2010 at the beginning of the club's 110th anniversary.

Promotion to the Regionalliga Ost

The promotion to the Regionalliga Ost was the goal for the 2010/2011 season, and Damir Canadi was hired as a coach, who was already active as a supervisor at Lokomotiv Moscow . In addition, Thomas Flögel could be won for the club in winter . With this team, they were superior champions of the Vienna City League and were already the champion on the fifth last match day.

Surprise climber in the Eastern League

Already at the beginning of the season it became clear that the alleged relegation candidate 1. Simmeringer SC could assert itself. This was mainly due to coach Damir Canadi , who turned a fourth division team into a candidate for promotion to the first division and was thus recruited from FC Lustenau 07 during the autumn season . For the rest of the autumn season, Volkan Kahraman only took over the job as an interim trainer, as he did not have the required trainer license, but was able to finish the autumn season just behind the top ranks in fifth place. At the beginning of December 2011, the Swiss Romain Villiger was introduced as the new coach, but after only three competitive games he resigned and was replaced in March 2012 by Christian Prosenik from Simmering. With Christian Prosenik, the class could be held despite the departure of several team supports.

The following season under the new coach Volkan Kahraman was extremely bad after another bloodletting of players and a lot of unfortunate defeats, mostly with only one goal difference, and so the relegation to the Vienna City League was fixed several rounds before the end of the season.

Even in the Vienna City League it was very difficult to gain a foothold and since relegation from the Regionalliga always played for relegation, which became reality at the end of the 2016/17 season and Simmering returned to the fifth division almost after ten years - this time the 2. Landesliga - had to relegate.

Crash into fifth class

After the fall in the 2nd national league, the coaching legend Norbert Barisits could be signed, but the recovery is still the goal of the club. If you failed more on yourself than on your opponents in the first season, in the second season it was the fact that with the insolvent First Vienna FC, a professionally managed club was forcibly transferred to the 2nd regional league and the league initially at will certain. But just in this season they became autumn champions, but lost in the spring season in a direct duel on the Simmeringer Had in front of a fifth-league record crowd of over 1100 spectators with 1: 3 and thus the promotion race was decided.

After this bitter season as an unrewarded runner-up, the team including coach barisits could be retained, but the departures could not be replaced on an equal basis due to the financial situation, so that this gap was filled with home-made players from the youngsters, some of whom are even eligible to play for the youngsters were closed. This move paid off, however, as these young players could assert themselves and develop into regular members of the fighting team. In this third season it was finally possible to live up to the role of favorites with a record start of 11 wins in the first 11 games. This starting record was suddenly ended with a 1: 2 defeat in the 12th round at Nussdorf AC. With a seven point lead, the season was canceled on March 13, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fell victim to the cancellation of all amateur leagues due to an ÖFB opinion.

history

The 1st SSC has always been one of the training clubs in Austrian football. As a club in a suburb, you could never keep up with the inner-city clubs, whose financial conditions were always too high for Simmering. Only SK Rapid Wien was able to assert itself as a representative of the outlying districts and join the concert of the major Viennese clubs.

Even after the club was founded, the best players were poached year after year, but this was always compensated for by newcomers. The club officials only had to go to the meadows of the Simmeringer Had , where numerous young Simmeringers pursued their footballing hobby and so there was an almost inexhaustible reservoir of young players.

Time and again home grown-ups like Ferdinand Swatosch , August Starek or Christian Prosenik made the leap not only into the Austrian Bundesliga , but also into the national team or even into one of the major European leagues.

today

After a few years as an elevator team between the two highest junior leagues in Vienna, the 1st SSC was able to hold its own in the WFV League and after years of playing against relegation, the overall ranking climbed ever higher, so that in the 2013 season / 2014 a club record was achieved with fourth place and was even able to trump this in the 2015/2016 season with second place, whereby they were in the lead this season until the penultimate round. The 2016/2017 season started a bit better and so they won four autumn championship titles (U23, U18, U16, overall standings). After all, the U16 under coach Nikon El Maestro was able to defend first place until the end of the season and with the cup victory a Simmering junior team managed to achieve the double for the first time.

The aim is still to train as many of your own young players as possible and to integrate them into your own combat team or even train them for higher leagues.

Women's soccer

With the start of the 2019/2010 season, for the first time in the club's history, the club also has a women's team in the first class championship in Vienna, which, similar to the men's fighting team, consists primarily of young young players and already in their first season for promotion to the next higher level League plays. However, as with the men's team, this season goal was missed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the eventual cancellation of the championship.

social commitment

The association - and especially the youth department - also represents the average population of the district. Players from 14 nations are registered with the club, not counting the players with a migration background. The 1st SSC is therefore not only part of the cross-club integration platform simmering , but also offers a free learning club in which the young players are offered school tuition before training.

During the 2018/19 season, the association further expanded its social commitment, so that, even in the absence of a dress sponsor, Integrationshaus Wien is advertised on the one hand and donations are made for it, and on the other hand a fundraising campaign with the Ute Bock refugee project under the title "Together " consists.

Trivia

The 1st SSC entered Austrian culture through Helmut Qualtinger and Gerhard Bronner in their dialogue from Travnicek on the road : The bullfighting - a dull thing ... Simmering - Kapfenberg , that's what I call brutality.

So on September 4th, 2009, a new edition of this "classic" took place in the form of a charity friendly game at the Simmeringer Had .
