The OÖ Liga ( sponsor name Radio OÖ Liga , formerly officially and today still colloquially known as the Upper Austria League ) is the regional soccer league of the federal state of Upper Austria . It is the fourth highest league in the Austrian football league system for clubs of the Upper Austrian Football Association (OFV). Together with the regional associations from Carinthia and Styria , the OFV forms a relay of the three-track regional league , the Regionalliga Mitte . The champion of the Upper Austrian League , who can call himself the Upper Austrian regional champion , will be promoted directly to this season. The lower house of the Upper Austrian League in the OFV is the two-track regional league.
history
The Upper Austrian provincial championship used to be the highest title for Upper Austrian football clubs. With the introduction of the overall Austrian championship and the slow descent into the fourth division, however, it lost its importance. Today, thanks to the partnership with Radio Upper Austria , it is once again enjoying greater media importance. In 2009 , those responsible for FC Pasching caused a sensation when they did not want to move up to the Middle Regional League on the grounds that the revenues and media coverage were a lot better in the Upper Austrian League .

An Upper Austrian league championship was played for the first time in the 1919/20 season with four clubs. However, this championship was later canceled. Thus, the first edition with five clubs took place in the 1920/21 season. The first Upper Austrian national championship title was secured by SK Vorwärts Steyr , which won the first three titles. However, ASK from Linz then advanced to become the record champions with eight titles between 1924 and 1933 ( SV Urfahr won in 1928 and 1933 ). In the first few years the number of participants varied greatly: while the initial five teams in 1924/25 had become ten teams, seven or eight clubs were played again afterwards.

In the 1933/34 season , a joint Upper Austrian and Salzburg league championship was held. As the best Upper Austrian club, the Linz ASK took second place behind the Salzburg AK 1914 . In the following season, the SAK defended the title that SV Urfahr was second in the league championship, the best Upper Austrian club.
The experiment of the joint league championship was ended after two seasons and returned to the version with eight teams from Upper Austria in the 1935/36 season . In the following two years the league was expanded by one team each and so it grew to ten participants. Until the 1937/38 season , only clubs from Steyr or Linz had won the Upper Austrian provincial championship. After that, with the annexation of Austria to the German Reich, the existing (upper) Austrian league system was incorporated into the Gauliga system of the German Reich. Up until the 1945/46 season , no more Upper Austrian football championships were held

The Upper Austrian provincial champion was the highest title for Upper Austrian football clubs until the introduction of the all-Austrian football championship in 1949, only interrupted by the Nazi era . A promotion to the then national league was reserved for clubs from the Vienna area. From 1929 to 1937, however , the Upper Austrian provincial champion was entitled to participate in the Austrian amateur soccer championship, which the Linz ASK once brought to Upper Austria in 1931.
After the end of the war, the league was called 1st class up to and including 1947/48 . The first two seasons were played with ten teams, after that the number of participants fluctuated between ten and eleven teams. In the 1948/49 season , the league was renamed the Landesliga .
In a transition season of 1949/50, the then national league was run as the second highest division in Austria. The Linzer ASK was Oberösterreichischer national champion and went as the second Upper Austrian football club after SK Vorwärts Steyr the year before in the all-Austrian State League A in.

Until the introduction of a nationwide league in the 1949/50 season , the regional league at that time was the highest possible division for Upper Austrian football clubs. Then it was performed for one season as the second highest division below the national state league . In the season 1950/51 which eventually became the state league B for Central and Eastern Austrian football clubs ( Burgenland , Lower Austria , Upper Austria , Styria and Vienna ) was introduced as second division and the division mediocre. As a result, the field of participants in the regional league was gradually expanded to 15 teams from Upper Austria. This odd number of participants meant that each round one of the clubs had no play. In the 1950s ESV Westbahn Linz, SK Amateure Steyr (2 ×), SV Urfahr, SK Vorwärts Steyr, SV nitrogen Linz, ATSV Ranshofen, SK VÖEST Linz and Welser SC 1912 celebrated the championship title.
- 1959–1974 Regional League Upper Austria (3rd division)
When the Regionalliga Mitte was introduced in the 1959/60 season , the Landesliga remained under this newly introduced league, the third highest division for Upper Austrian football clubs because the State League B was canceled. As in the Regional center played more Upper Austrian clubs as before in the State League B , the number of participants was the then division temporarily reduced, but to 1965/66 increased again to the original 15 teams. With the introduction of the 2nd division in the 1974/75 season , the regional league center was abolished again, whereby the regional league remained third class. While a season with 14 instead of the usual 15 teams had already been inserted over and over again, the odd number of participants was finally abandoned in 1976/77 and played with 14 teams from now on.
The Upper Austrian regional champions from 1951 to 1959 were allowed to move up to the second-rate State League B , initially directly and later via relegation . From 1960 to 1974 the Upper Austrian regional champions rose to the then second-class regional league middle . From 1975, the Upper Austrian regional champion finally took part in a relegation for promotion to the 2nd division . Between 1959 and 1974 SK Amateure Steyr, SK VÖEST Linz, SV Post Admira Linz, ASK St. Valentin (3 ×), SK Hertha Wels (2 ×), ATSV Steyrermühl, SV Grieskirchen (2 ×), ATSV Ranshofen, SK Forward Steyr, Welser SC 1912 and SK Altheim Upper Austrian champions.
- 1974–1994 Regional League Upper Austria (3rd division)
In the 1974/75 season, the Bundesliga was introduced as the new first division. The National League, which previously served as the first division, was the new second division. The Regionalliga Mitte was abolished. As a result, the Landesliga Oberösterreich remained the third division. The champions until 1994 were SK Vorwärts Steyr (3 ×), SK Amateure Steyr, FC Union Wels (2 ×), FC Union Wels, Union Vöcklamarkt, SV Gmunden, ATSV Steyrermühl, ATSV Timelkam, Union Vöcklamarkt, SV Chemie Linz (2 × ), SV Ried (3 ×), SV Braunau (2 ×) and ASKÖ Donau Linz

The regional league became the fourth highest division for Upper Austrian football clubs when the regional league center was reintroduced below the 2nd division in the 1994/95 season . In the 1997/98 season the number of participants was increased to 16 teams, but this was discarded again in the 2001/02 season in favor of the mode with 14 clubs. In the 2003/04 season the league got the name Upper Austria League and since the 2005/06 season it has had the current sponsorship name Radio OÖ Liga . At the beginning of the 2013/2014 season, the Upper Austrian League was again increased to 16 clubs. The regional TV broadcaster LT1 has acted as a name sponsor since the fall season 2016/17 .
