history

Early years

A sports field was opened in Kalsdorf as early as 1938, but the Kalsdorf sports club was only founded after the Second World War. The founding meeting was held on May 26, 1946 in a private apartment, the first provisional chairman was A. Zepic. The newly founded club played its first game against a military team from the British occupation forces. Dress and sports shoes were provided by the British.
After the first ordinary general meeting on January 26, 1947, registration was made with the Styrian Football Association (StFV), the first ordinary chairman was H. Schusterbauer, and a ten-person committee was appointed. From now on the club took part in the championship of the StFV.

The opening took place in 1960, in the same year the first promotion to the Styrian regional league , in which the club played for two years, could be fixed. After relegation in 1962, it took until 1971 before the ascent was successful. Two more years later, the first promotion to the Regionalliga Mitte, the second highest Austrian performance class at the time, was celebrated.
