The FC Alpe Adria is an Austrian football club from the Carinthian town of St. Veit an der Glan . It was created in 1989 from the merger of the two city clubs SV St. Veit / Glan and SC Amateure St. Veit / Glan and played in the fifth-class East League in 2015/16 . A few weeks after the end of the season it was announced that the club would voluntarily retire to the "2nd class" (the lowest division), but this was not done either, because no club from the city of St Veit in the men's championship (sources: game plans of the Carinthian football association).
history
1946 to the 1970s
FC St. Veit is based on its two predecessor clubs, both traditional Carinthian clubs. The SCA St. Veit (SC Amateure St. Veit) was founded as ATUS St. Veit and as an all-round club shortly after the end of the Second World War.
The SV St. Veit was founded in 1950 and was promoted to the second-class Tauern League as the Carinthian regional champion in 1953 . In the third season, however, came the relegation, which could not be prevented by two defeats in the relegation against Wolfsberger AC . A new upswing came almost twenty years later with the rise in 1973 in the now second-rate regional league middle . This was replaced by the new National League just in this 1973/74 season , SV St. Veit / Glan only missed qualifying by one place behind SV Rapid Lienz .
In 1974, SV St. Veit / Glan around star striker Günther Golautschnig and captain Rudolf "Nocki" Türk qualified for the 2nd division in the relegation games against SK Vorwärts Steyr and WSV Liezen. Here the club was able to establish itself in the long term and met (among other things) the city rivals SC Amateure St. Veit / Glan, who was promoted to the 2nd division only one year after SV St. Veit / Glan and in the promotion relegation SK Amateure Steyr and WSV Liezen had switched off. In the following five seasons there were city derbies between SV and SCA.
Adolf Funder , a St. Veit industrialist, acted as a generous sports patron of both clubs and brought players like Franz Hasil and Lothar Emmerich to St. Veit and Austria Klagenfurt .
Sensational results in the ÖFB Cup
In 1977 the SV managed to reach the semi-finals of the ÖFB Cup , where they lost 2-1 to the Vienna Sport Club, via SK Sturm Graz and SV Austria Salzburg as a second division team . In 1980 the feat was repeated, this time the SV failed with a 1: 2 at SV Austria Salzburg. Twice, in 1978 and 1987, the club made it to the quarter-finals.
The SCA St. Veit made it to the sixteenth finals of the ÖFB Cup in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and failed consistently against traditional Austrian clubs: the Linz ASK , Austria Klagenfurt and the then major club VOEST Linz were the opponents. In 1981 the SCA played in the round of 16 and was defeated by Admira-Wacker . - With regard to the championship of the 2nd division, an 8-0 away win at ASK Salzburg on May 27, 1978 was a noteworthy result.
Young self-made players and players from the Central Carinthia region such as Franz Zore (later FK Austria Wien ), Franz Wohlfahrt (later FK Austria Wien and VfB Stuttgart ) and Günther Vidreis (later with SK Sturm Graz , VfB Mödling , First Vienna FC 1894 and VOEST Linz, among others ) for SV St. Veit and Walter Knaller (later Admira Wacker ) and Richard Burger (later Grazer AK ) for SCA played in the ducal city during this period.
The 1980s
While the amateurs in 1980/81, after two Carinthian championship titles and five years in the Bundesliga, 2nd division, relegated to the state league after the failure of major sponsor Adolf Funder and later even had to go back to the lower league and further to the 1st class, the SV St. Veit / Glan, financially badly affected by the failure of the sponsor Funder 1982/83 under chairman Fritz Kimeswenger, even took first place and thus moved up to the 1st division together with the Favoritner AC . Euphoric, St. Veiter won their first game in 1983/84 against SK VÖEST Linz 2-0 and also led in the next game at Tivoli against SSW Innsbruck with two goals, although they still had to be satisfied with a draw. Nevertheless, an unmatched 6,000 spectators came to the home game in the stadium against the eventual champions Austria , who clearly showed the Herzogstadt people their limits with a 5-1 away win. Ultimately, SV St. Veit / Glan landed on the 14th of 16 places and thus in the relegation, which they lost to the Donawitzer SV Alpine .
The lost relegation meant a decisive turning point in the club's history, as in St. Veiter football. Already in the 1986/87 season , SV St. Veit / Glan landed in the last place in the lower play-offs and was relegated to the national league.
The merger
In 1989 there was finally a merger between SV and SCA, and after the construction of the SV Prinzhoferstraße stadium, the amateur racetrack was played. There was a sporting low point in 1992/93, when the club, now appearing as FC St. Veit, had to relegate to the lower league (group east), but under coach Albert "Bertl" Parth the immediate re-emergence from
1998 to 2003 succeeded in participating in the new Regionalliga Mitte , then the club played in the regional league. On June 30, 2005, the Jacques Lemans Arena was opened as the new home stadium.
In the 2005/06 season, the FC St. Veit missed the title of the Carinthian regional league extremely narrowly against the syndicate FC Kärnten / Welzenegg. The direct match took place in the last round; St. Veit won 2: 1, which resulted in a goal difference of 74:28 for St. Veit compared to 74:26 for the competitor. Two years later, however, the time had come: on May 9, 2008, four rounds before the end, FC St. Veit / Glan secured the championship of the Carinthian Regional League prematurely with a 2-0 win against Landskron St. Veit 13 points ahead of runner-up FC Nußdorf-Debant).
The team from the ducal town of St. Veit an der Glan played for two years in the Middle Regional League between 2008 and 2010. In 2010/11 FC St. Veit only played a subordinate role in the Carinthian League.
On June 22, 2014, the general assembly of the club decided to rename it to "FC Alpe Adria" in order to initiate a cultural component with the northern Italian region.
In the 2014/15 season, the club suffered a sporting defeat because it was relegated to the minor league. The relegation was sealed in the last round on June 12, 2015, when they lost 2-0 at home in a direct duel against SV Spittal (a draw would have been enough for the Spittal team).
End of game operations and restart
After the 2015/16 championship, the club, which was ranked 9th in the Lower League East, left the championship. The reasons were lack of players and money. It had been tried for a long time to continue, although voluntary relegation to the lowest division (2nd class) was also considered. From the 2017/18 season, FC St. Veit will actually start in the 2nd class (in the regional group "D") with new officials; It is practically the first time in the club history of the club that emerged from SV St. Veit that he will play in the lower division in the post-war period. The name "FC Alpe Adria" has been dropped again. Please also see the website of the Carinthian Football Association (KFV). June 4th. In 2018, the game was stopped due to bankruptcy. The reason given is a lack of sponsorship funds and outstanding transfer funds.
