The SC Weisse Elf Wien , also called SC Die Weißen Elf , is a former Austrian soccer club which played a total of 15 seasons in the second-highest division between the years 1924/25 and 1945/46 .
history
After an association of the same name had already existed before the First World War , the new SC Weisse Elf was founded in July 1919 in Meidling by sports-loving youngsters . The club was placed in the lowest class, the so-called protection group, and after two championship titles he played in the third highest division in 1922. Here the team reached second place twice in a row and thus only just failed to advance further. Among the players who were active in the early days of the club were, among others, the later national player Franz Jellinek and the future international referee Hans Frankenstein , who after the end of his playing career also acted as coach and section head of the White Elf.
Professional football was introduced in Vienna in 1924 , and the club officials decided to take part in the professional championship. The club was divided into the second division and was able to occupy a midfield place in its first season. In the cup competition they reached the quarter-finals, where it was a 4-0 defeat against SK Admira Wien . In the following years, the White Elf were able to establish themselves in the second class and reached third place in 1927/28 and 1928/29 , but could not seriously intervene in the fight for promotion. The club, which has meanwhile moved to Mariahilf , did not have its own venue and had to play the home games as a guest on foreign courts such as those of SC Neubau or FC Nicholson .
In the 1931/32 season , the White Elf were able to achieve the autumn championship title, but a relapse in the spring prevented the achievement of the promotion goal. In 1932 the association succeeded in acquiring the old Wackerplatz and thus for the first time having its own home. The following season ended, however, on a relegation zone and had to relegate to amateur football after nine years of membership in the second division. After giving up Wackerplatz after two years for cost reasons, they returned to second class in 1935, where they immediately fought for promotion and ultimately only had to admit defeat to Post SV Wien .
In August 1936, the White Elf merged with SC Schwarz-Weiß Wien , which had its own sports field in Penzing . The team was able to spend two more years in the second tier before relegation to third division followed in 1937/38 . During the years of the Second World War , the now Penzinger initially stayed in the third level, before they were placed in the second level again in 1943.
The White Elf also had this status when gaming resumed in Vienna after the end of the war. But the first post-war season 1945/46 ended for the team with the penultimate place and relegation. After the club had played third and fourth rate in the next few years, the crash into the lower leagues of Viennese amateur football followed in the mid-1950s, where they spent the next few decades. In the 1970s the club lost its long-term sports field in Penzing due to a construction project and then played its home games on the ASKÖ-16-Platz in Ottakring . In 1980 there was a merger with the local WAT 16 , and the fusion club played under the name WAT 16- Weisse Elf in the following years , before the addition was eliminated at the end of the 1980s and the traditional name of the White Elf disappeared from Viennese football.
