history

Foundation and promotion to the second class

The football section of the Vienna Police Sports Association was founded in 1918 and took part in the championships of the Vienna Football Association from 1924 . In the 1933/34 season, the amateur club played for the first time in the II. League, the second highest level in Austrian professional football at the time, and was twelfth in the table with 21 points behind the traditional Vienna Cricket and Football Club . In the only participation in the Austrian amateur championships, the police sports association failed in 1934 after a 4-2 win at home due to a 3-0 defeat away from SC St. Pölten . In the following game year, the police athletes were able to place themselves in seventh place due to the division of the second division into a north and a south group and the associated drop in general strength. However , the sports association was 12 points behind the champions and first division promoted Favoritner AC . In 1935/36 the club reached tenth place and saved itself with three points ahead of SC Neubau and seven points on the Cricketer from relegation from the II. Northern League. Due to the planned introduction of the nationwide National League from 1938, the second division of Vienna was again amalgamated, which meant that the police sports association had to fight relegation from the second division in the 1936/37 season . Over the entire season, the league with clubs such as Schwarz-Rot ( WAC ), Red Star and Helfort proved to be too strong for the police athletes , with the club being eighth, five points behind the saving seventh place in the table at the end of the season.

The years of the Ostmark and integration into the SG Ordnungspolizei

After relegation, the soccer section of the Police Sports Association was able to hold onto the third level and in 1940 again made it to the now second competitive division of the Ostmark . In the 1st class Vienna B, the club reached sixth place out of ten participants (including clubs such as WAC, LAC , Simmering and Donaufeld ) in the 1940/41 season . Before the beginning of the following season, the association was integrated into the game community of the Ordnungspolizei (SG Ordnungspolizei, sometimes also called SG OrPo), which was placed fifth in the table in 1942, eighth in 1943 and again in fifth in 1944. At the beginning of December 1944, due to the events of World War II , the OrPo had to withdraw from the championship of the now 2nd League North, which was broken off shortly thereafter, and subsequently disband.

Post-war championship and the fall into insignificance

In the re-established Austria, in the first post-war season 1945/46 , the police sports association was again allowed to participate in the championship under its name and achieved tenth place in 2nd class B behind Hochstädt (champion), Hakoah (runner-up), LAC, Columbia , 1st place Simmeringer SC, Donaufeld, BAC , NAC and Mautner Markhof . Due to the planned amalgamation of the two second divisions, the tenth of 16 ranks was not enough to stay in the league and the police athletes found themselves in the third division first class through the reform in the next season.

The police sports association spent the following three decades in the lower soccer classes of the federal capital. In 1957 (8th place) and 1958 (9th place) the club played in the 1st class B and met former first and second division clubs such as Donau , LAC, NAC and Columbia as well as district clubs such as North Vienna , Alt Ottakring , Aspern and Waggonfabrik .

In 1978/79 the Kaisermühlner won the first class championship and thus achieved promotion to the then fourth class sub-league B from which they were relegated again. In 1981 the promotion succeeded again, this time in the new 2nd regional league, which was dissolved after one season in favor of the lower league. Until 1993, the sports association played in the lower league B before moving back to 1st class. There the club immediately won the championship title in 1994 and returned to the lower league B.

Fusion and the years in the Vienna City League

In the summer of 1996, the police athletes decided to cooperate with the football section of the fire brigade sports and art association , which this season voluntarily relegated from 1st class to 2nd class. In the 1995/96 game year, the Vienna Police Sports Association won the championship title in sub-league B and was thus able to qualify for the fourth-class Vienna City League for the first time in many years . On June 23, 1997 , the merger with the previous cooperation partner SKV Feuerwehr took place. The football section of the fire brigade reported to the WFV that it had stopped playing, the football department of the police sports association continued to play as the police / fire brigade in the Vienna City League and reached tenth place in the league table in the top division of Vienna in the promotion season.

In 1998/99 the police / fire brigade were crowned autumn champions, but at the end of the championship had to be satisfied with second place behind the 1st Simmeringer SC. In the same season, the police athletes celebrated winning the TOTO Cup (state cup) and thus their first title in the club's short history with a final victory over the Rapid amateurs in the Ernst Happel Stadium . In the following game year, the Kaisermühlner fought with the Rapid Amateurs and Stadlau for the championship title until the very last round and finally finished second with only one point behind OMV Stadlau. As a consolation, the police / fire brigade was able to defend the title in the TOTO Cup against the Wiener Sport-Club and reached the third round of the ÖFB Cup for the first time with victories over the amateur teams of Rapid and Austria Wien , in which the team, however, against the second division club DSV Leoben retired.

In the next year, winning the Vienna State Cup was celebrated with a final victory over SV Essling, but the team fell back to fifth place in the championship. The people of Kaisermühlner had great hopes for the 2001/02 season in which, after a targeted reinforcement of the squad and the commitment of former Bundesliga and national player Manfred Zsak (Austria) as a coach, they started as a declared and big title favorite. However, the team was unable to meet the expectations placed in them and already lost important points against their immediate title rivals in the early stages. At the end of the season, he was seventh in the championship and second in the Vienna indoor league tournament. The following year, the police athletes placed fourth again in the top field and, after a year break, they made it back to the final of the TOTO Cup, in which this time they were victorious over Austria XIII .

Promotion to the regional league

In summer 2003 the football section of the police sports association was renamed PSV Team for Vienna . In the Vienna City League, the team was crowned autumn champion and won the indoor tournament of the Vienna Football Association for the first time. After a duel with the Rapid Amateurs that lasted until the last round, the PSV team won the championship title in the 2003/04 season after seven years in the city league and rose to the Regionalliga Ost for the first time in the club's history . In the same year, the home ground in Kaisermühlen was renovated. The previous natural turf pitch was replaced by an artificial turf pitch made of rubber granulate that complies with UEFA rules and is equipped with a floodlight system.

In the third stage of the game, the PSV team for Vienna reached tenth place in the table in the 2004/05 debut season . In June 2007, the club merged with Floridsdorfer AC , which then appeared under the name FAC Team for Vienna from the 2007/08 season . Since 2014 it has only been called FAC .
