history
prehistory
In 1893 Georg-August Wagner from Graz brought the sport of football from Prague to Graz and quickly got students excited about this new sport. Just one year later, the first football department of ATRV Graz was founded in Styria. The first soccer game took place on March 18, 1894 in Graz between two ATRV teams. On October 31, 1895, a game between First Vienna FC 1894, founded in 1894, and a team from ATRV Graz took place, which Vienna won 5-0.
The Grazer SV was established in 1900, followed by the GAK in 1902 . The later important Grazer Sportklub Sturm - better known today as SK Sturm Graz - was founded in 1909. The first important competition in Styria was won by the Wiener Sport-Club in 1907 with a final victory in the Autumn Fair Cup over the GAK. The German-Alpine Football Association was founded as one of the five sub -associations of the Austrian Football Association during the imperial era , but it was the only one unable to host a championship for the teams from Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, the coastal region, Carinthia and Styria .
Foundation and first years
After the German-Alpine Football Association disintegrated and in May 1921 only Styrian teams remained after the Carinthian clubs left the city, the Styrian Football Association was formed . The first successes of the Styrian national champions, which were determined for the first time in 1921, were winning the amateur championship of Austria by the GAK in 1929, 1932 and 1933 as well as in 1934 by the SK Sturm. In 1937 the association's selection beat the professional team Chelsea FC from London on Sturm-Platz with 4-2.
In 1947 a cup competition for the whole of Austria was decided for the first time, and in 1949 the Austrian State Football League was founded with an A and B league. This first overall championship was won by the FK Austria Wien , the first Styrian participant SK Sturm Graz finished tenth.
Successes of the Styrian clubs
In 1955, Styria reached a national record that has not been achieved to this day: In League A there are four Styrian teams : SK Sturm Graz, Grazer AK, Kapfenberger SV and ESV Austria Graz . In 1959, the League B was dissolved, the Regionalliga Mitte took its place. In 1962 the GAK was the first club from outside Vienna to take part in the European Cup.
In 1974 the new division of ten (as a 1st division ) and the professional, second-class 2nd division were introduced. The Donawitzer SV Alpine and the GAK have to go into the second division, only the SK Sturm Graz can stay up - as early as 1973, his sporting descent was only prevented by a special vote by the association. In 1981 the GAK won the first big title with the ÖFB-Cup. In 1998, with SK Sturm Graz, a Styrian soccer club became Austrian soccer champions for the first time, and in 1999 Sturm successfully defended his title. In 2004 the GAK became the second Styrian club to become Austrian champions. In 2011, SK Sturm Graz, another club from Styria, became Austrian champions.
