The International Football Camp Styria (IFCS for short) is an Austrian service provider for professional football clubs in the field of organization and hosting of football camps.
IFCS was created in 1996 under the direction of Nikolaus Pichler through a request from the top Italian soccer club AS Roma to the city of Kapfenberg to complete a one-week season preparation camp on the local sports facility of the Franz Fekete Stadium . After there were too many inquiries for the location in the summer of 1999 and IFCS would have had to refuse some top clubs, the idea came up to work out a concept for a second location in Styria . In the years between 1999 and 2012, Bad Aussee, Bad Radkersburg, Bad Gleichenberg, Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Bad Waltersdorf, Bruck / Mur, Graz, Irdning, Stainach, Leoben, Bad Loipersdorf, Pöllauberg, Söchau, St. Lambrecht and Stegersbach became a total of 15 new locations added. Every year between May and August, more than 30 top international teams pitch their tents in Styria for about a week.
