The FC Blau-Weiß Linz is a football club from Linz . He has been in the second division (second highest division in Austrian men's football) since the 2016/17 season .

history

The FC Blau-Weiß Linz was founded on July 2nd, 1997 by Hermann Schellmann, Wilhelm Holzleitner and Willibald Katschtaler as the successor to the clubs FC Linz and SV Austria Tabak Linz . The team played their first championship game under this name in the 1997/98 season in the 1st Upper Austrian Regional League on August 19, 1997 against ASKÖ Donau Linz and won 2-1. After three years in the fourth-highest Austrian league, with a final 4-2 win at Union St. Florian , the championship was finally won and at the same time promotion to the third- tier Regionalliga Mitte , in which the club spent seven seasons from the 2000/01 season. In the 2002/03 season , the championship title could be won there again. The first relegation game for promotion to the second highest Austrian league was won 2-0 away in Villach against BSV Bad Bleiberg , but the second leg in the Linz stadium in front of 8,000 spectators was lost 4-2 after a 2-1 break lead. Due to the away goals rule, FC Blau-Weiß Linz remained in the Regionalliga Mitte.

After the missed ascent, there was a steady sporting decline. In the following 2003/04 season the Linz team played for a long time, but in 2005 and 2006 they were already involved in the relegation battle. This development culminated in the 2006/07 season when the Linz team had to leave the league for the ten-year anniversary of the club. However, they managed to get promoted again immediately and so the club was back in the Middle Region from the 2008/09 season. In the 2010/11 season, behind the LASK Juniors who were not eligible for promotion, they achieved the runner-up title in the Middle Regional League and thus qualified for the relegation games against WSG Wattens . After a 0-1 home defeat, they won 1-0 away and secured promotion to the first division with a 4-3 win on penalties. The following season in professional football was finished in sixth place.

The following season 2012/13 was much less positive, the Linz team achieved the fewest points of all first division clubs. Since the FC Lustenau but received no license for the 2013/14 season, the Vorarlberg were returned ranked on the last place, and Blau-Weiss Linz got the chance in relegation matches against SC-ESV Parndorf in 1919 , the Master of the Regional League East , the class to protect. The Linz team lost the away game in Parndorf with 1: 2 and the home game with 0: 1 and therefore had to start the bitter journey into the Regionalliga Mitte . For the first time since the Bundesliga was founded in 1974, the city of Linz was not represented in either the first or second performance class. In the 2015/16 season , Blau-Weiß Linz became champions of the Regionalliga Mitte and rose again to the first division .

On June 30, 2017, President Hermann Schellmann resigned and handed over the management of the association to Vice President Walter Niedermayr. The new president tries to lead the club into the Bundesliga with Agenda 2027 and a large team. Due to an autoimmune disease, he had to resign from the office of President on November 30, 2018 for health reasons. His agendas as president will be divided up between all board members on an interim basis until the successor has been settled.

Coach history

Stadion

Grandstand in the Donaupark Stadium

From the 2011/12 season the club will play in the Linz stadium . In its current configuration, it offers space for 20,104 spectators, making it Upper Austria's largest stadium. It is also used in part by local rivals LASK Linz . It used to be the home of the predecessor club of FC Blau-Weiß Linz, FC Linz .

Before promotion to the first division in the 2010/11 season , the club played in the Donauparkstadion (originally tobacco sports field, officially renamed on August 1, 1997). This is located between the Voest and the railway bridge, directly on the Danube. The combat team has been training on the artificial turf of the Linz stadium since the 2012/13 season, while the Donauparkstadion is used as a training ground for the amateur team and for test matches. It holds 2000 spectators, 400 of them seated.

While up to 2000 spectators attended the Linz games at the beginning, over time the popularity leveled off at a lower level. Nevertheless, the FC Blau-Weiß Linz was one of the crowd pullers of the Regionalliga Mitte ; The Linzers are often accompanied by hundreds of fans to the away games.

Agenda 2027

The 2027 Agenda is a ten-year plan of the association.

On February 14, 2017, FC Blau-Weiß Linz presented its Agenda 2027 in the Linz tobacco factory. The tobacco factory, as a symbolic place of the association's roots in the steel industry and SV Austria Tabak, was deliberately intended to be the scene of the planned upheaval . The then president, Hermann Schellmann, then resigned all his offices at FC Blau Weiß and handed them over to the new management team.

Content of the agenda

By 2027, the professionals are to be promoted to the highest Austrian league, while the amateurs will be promoted to the Upper Austria league during this period. They also want to pay special attention to the next generation and strengthen their work. You want to be “number one behind the academies”. The aim is to give the young players time to develop on and off the pitch.

In the medium and long term, they want to double the budget in terms of business, recruit 1000 members and spend 10% of the budget on the next generation. It was also noted that the goals of the agenda would be pursued without compromise even in the event of a decline. It is also of the opinion that there is enough economic potential in Linz to make a profit from it. The triangle of club, culture and economy should be strengthened more and more.

Fans

Well-known fan clubs of the association are the Linzer Stahlfront founded in 1991 , the Linz pyromaniac founded in 1999 , the Linz blue helmets founded in 2003 or the Salon Blauweiss Linz founded in 2010 . The Stahlstadt collective exists as an over-organization for the supporters , which represents a platform for every fan of the royal blues and, among other things, is intended to contribute to better communication between the individual fan groups. The young group called “Chaos Jugend Linz” has existed since 2013. Other fan clubs are the Blau Weisse Urtype (since 2004), the Stahlstadtkinder (since 2003) and the ARGE ToR! ("Working group tribune without racism!", Since 2008).

The East Grandstand is not a fan club in the classic sense. Their visitors - mostly over 30s - are among the club's longest-established residents. The makers of the fanzine "Stahlexpress" , which has been appearing more or less regularly since 1991, also come from their environment .

The club's fans have been friends with the Stuttgarter Kickers since the early 1990s . Thanks to intensified contact with the Linz blue helmets, there is now a friendship with the fans of SSV Jahn Regensburg , who are also friends with the Stuttgarters.

Rivalry with the LASK

FC Blau-Weiß has the greatest rivalry with LASK , which is also based in the city, due to its local proximity . This local duel between the two teams is also very popular in the Linz area.

The first meeting of the two combat teams in a competitive game took place in the first round of the ÖFB Cup 2002/03 . In this match, FC Blau Weiß surprisingly beat LASK 3-1. Then there were no competitive games against each other for a long time until they played together in the first division for the first time in 2011/12 after the rise of FC Blau-Weiß . 2013/14 was a common season in the Regionalliga Mitte, in which LASK was able to win both games. Until LASK was promoted to the top Austrian league, there was another year together in the First League in 2016/17 .
