The sports club Austria Salzburg , or SV Austria Salzburg for short, or simply Austria Salzburg , is a soccer club from Salzburg . He plays in the Eliteliga Salzburg in the 2019/20 season .
The club was founded following Red Bull's entry into the Bundesliga club of the same name, SV Austria Salzburg, and its realignment as FC Red Bull Salzburg . The English clubs AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester served as models . The association sees itself as the successor to the former Austria and as such refers to its history from 1933 to 2005, its traditions and its successes. The club colors are accordingly purple and white.
history
The story of the old SV Austria Salzburg up to 2005 is dealt with in the article about FC Red Bull Salzburg , as Red Bull took over and restructured the club in 2005. It is also the prehistory of the newly founded association.
The color dispute and the violet-white initiative
When Red Bull GmbH's plans to join Austria Salzburg became known in April 2005, its fans were positive about the project due to the club's poor financial situation. In Austria, the renaming of a sports club is comparatively normal, many teams in football or ice hockey bear the name of a sponsor, usually in order to reorganize their finances or increase their budget. As a rule, however, such upheavals happen with consideration for the tradition of the association, which is only changed carefully. In this case, it was a radical redesign of the club that actually amounted to a takeover of the club - Red Bull had the sole right to appoint the club's board laid down in the club's statutes - that led to the founding of the initiative and a power struggle between the Austria fan scene and the new De -facto owner led. Points of contention were the lack of acceptance of the club's history (the new management originally stated 2005 as the year the club was founded, which was only reversed following pressure from the ÖFB ) and, above all, the traditional colors of violet and white, which on paper are still the club's official colors remained, but in fact no longer existed. Red and white replaced the traditional colors of violet and white - not only as the color of the jerseys - and the Red Bull logo became an integral part of the club's coat of arms.
As a reaction to the redesign of the club by the new owner, fans founded the Violet-White initiative , the aim of which was initially to preserve the violet-white club tradition. Action was taken on several levels: on the one hand, negotiations were carried out with those responsible at the club, and on the other, actions such as the peaceful storming and occupation of the pitch during a friendly match were carried out.
The talks finally failed when Red Bull offered a purple captain's bow as the only compromise, only a small purple logo of the new supplier Adidas and purple socks for the goalkeeper on the jerseys . During the first half of the 2005/06 season, the Austria fan camp split into traditional purple fans and new Red Bull fans. Protest banners, chants, still purple choreographies and the purple shirts and scarves still worn by the fans were also an expression of the rejection of Red Bull and Dietrich Mateschitz .
During the talks, but increasingly after their failure, there were various incidents between the tradition-conscious fans and the Red Bull Salzburg management. The conversion of the fan sector from a standing to a seating sector and general house bans against alleged rioters from violet fan circles caused further excitement, some of which were however reversed.
Solidarity of the fans and media coverage
All over Austria and in many European stadiums there were solidarity rallies from fan groups with the purple fans. Their protest is generally understood as the struggle of football fans against the advancing commercialization of sport and is supported accordingly. Contrary to the usual rivalries between the supporters of various clubs, developments in Salzburg have resulted in football fans seeing themselves as a unit and acting together “against modern football”. The aim is to preserve the tradition and identity of the respective association and to prevent the associations from becoming mere advertising media. The fans see themselves as these traditional bearers, as the players, coaches and board change. In the Ultrà movement in particular , the vehemence with which the Salzburg fans fought against the new identity of their club was welcomed and supported.
Overall, supporters of all Austrian first division clubs showed solidarity with the Violet-White initiative with banners and choreographies, as did the fans of most second division clubs. In Germany too, the fans of many Bundesliga clubs have expressed their solidarity, in some cases the curves in the lower leagues. In total, there are 23 football fan clubs from Austria, 53 from the rest of Europe and even two from the USA who have declared their solidarity with the initiative. Such an association and support among fans is new in Austrian and European football history. Prominent footballers and coaches such as Hans Krankl , Paul Scharner , Toni Pfeffer , Ernst Dospel and Herbert Prohaska also support the initiative of the violet fans.
Various television channels such as ZDF and ARTE also increasingly documented the activities of the Violet-White Initiative and the establishment of the new club in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup to inform about how football fans deal with the commercialization of their sport. In the February 2008 issue, the business magazine brand eins also discussed this topic in detail under the title The Twelfth Man .
Foundation of a new Austria
After the failure of negotiations with the new club officials, the majority of the purple fans withdrew from the stadium. The aim was to found a new Austria Salzburg. The first step in this regard was the establishment of the association by being entered in the association register under the name Sportverein Austria Salzburg on October 7, 2005.
The founding of the association as the last step of the protest has its forerunners in England. In similar cases in London, where the AFC Wimbledon was founded in response to the move of Wimbledon FC , and Manchester (after the purchase of Manchester United by Malcolm Glazer , the protests culminated in the new club FC United of Manchester ), the new clubs were able to get over retain their followers for a longer period of time.
The new club quickly had around 800 members and a large following. In order to be able to start playing as soon as possible, negotiations were held with the football section of PSV / Schwarz-Weiß Salzburg , which ultimately led to a cooperation for spring 2006. The game was played in purple and white jerseys, which bore the club crests of both clubs. At the end of the season, however, the cooperation was terminated again because PSV gave no guarantees for future outsourcing of the soccer section.
The lowest class and the way up
Austria started in the 2006/07 season as an independent club with a completely new squad (including some footballers from their own fan curve) in the lowest division, the Salzburg 2nd class North A, and made it - despite their relegation in the regional league the ascent in the first attempt. The facility of the UFC Salzburg-Danubia in Nonntal , which has since given way to the Mitte sports center, served as the venue .
The search for a new, longer-term venue was also ended in good time at the start of the 2007/08 season. SV Austria Salzburg is now playing its games on the West sports facility in the Maxglan district of Salzburg . The club also secured the championship title in the following three seasons, which made it successful in the Regionalliga West, Austria's third-highest division. With its success, Austria was also the first club from the state of Salzburg to make four consecutive promotions.
In the regional league
With the promotion to the western league, the club was automatically eligible to start in the preliminary round of the ÖFB Cup as one of the six best Salzburg teams for the first time and was able to win 2-0 against the western league competitors in this on July 27, 2010 in a home game TSV Neumarkt enforce. The late goals by Marko Vujić (89th minute from the penalty kick) and Raphael Reifeltshammer (90th + 3th, direct free kick) after an early red card for Florian Hirsch (13th, for kicking) meant the first qualification for the main competition. Austria had not previously managed to qualify by winning the Salzburg State Cup. The first division team Austria Lustenau was drawn as opponents in the first round ; against Vorarlberg they lost 3-0 at home on August 14, 2010 and were eliminated. Austria finished the first season in the Regionalliga with 5th place.
The 2011/12 season began again with the preliminary round for the ÖFB Cup , this time against USK Anif . The home game on July 23, 2011 was almost a copy of the preliminary round game from the previous year: Hirsch saw the yellow-red card in the 18th minute, but Austria won with goals from Reifeltshammer (58th minute) and Vujić (87th minute) with 2: 0. In the 12th minute, new signing Martin Eisl had parried a penalty kick. In the first main round, Austria was eliminated on August 6, 2011, as in the previous year, 3-0, this time in an away game at the Eastern division Parndorf . After moderate performance in the league, coach Didi Emich resigned on September 19 and was replaced on December 6 by Thomas Hofer from league rivals Anif. In the meantime, the team was looked after by sports director Gerhard Stöger on an interim basis. The league season ended the Austria in the middle of the table in 8th place, but on May 23, 2012 in Eugendorf she was able to conquer the Salzburg State Cup for the first time with a 4-0 (2-0) in the final against the SAK 1914 .
The next season began for the club after winning the Landescup on July 13, 2012 directly in the first main cup round . Austria was defeated by FC Pasching from the Regionalliga Mitte away with 1: 2 (0: 2). The season was then successful: Austria finished six points behind FC Liefering second in the league and was also able to defend the Landescup on May 29 in Eugendorf with a 4-0 win against TSV St. Johann and thus advance to the first round of the Qualify for ÖFB Cups. Coach Hofer left the club at the end of the season due to a lack of support from the club's management.
The 2013/14 season began on July 13, 2013 with the first round in the ÖFB Cup, where they were drawn by the Bundesliga promoted SV Grödig . He was thrown out of the competition with 6: 5 (1: 1 a.s.) on penalties. In the second round, the Bundesliga relegated SV Mattersburg was once again drawn as an opponent who was rated significantly higher on paper. In this game, after an equally strong performance as in the first round, but then in another penalty shoot-out with 2: 4 (1: 1 a.s.), which meant the end of the ÖFB Cup. In the regional league they went into the winter break as autumn champions on November 2, 2013, until then unbeaten, and were finally superior with nine points ahead of the WSG Wattens champions. With that, SV Austria qualified for the relegation games against the champions of the Regionalliga Ost , Floridsdorfer AC . This turned out to be far too strong: the Salzburg team scored 2-2 away, but at home the team had no chance and will therefore have to play in the Regionalliga West again in the 2014/15 season . On the other hand, the Salzburg State Cup went well for SV Austria. On May 20, 2014 he won again in the final against TSV St. Johann 6-2 in Eugendorf.
In the away game in the penultimate round of the Regionalliga season 2014/15 at FC Kitzbühel , the 300th competitive game since it was founded, Austria won 1-0 in front of around 1000 fans with a goal from Uroš Palibrk in the 83rd minute and fixed thus the championship title and promotion to the first division , as the champions of the Regionalliga West did not have to play any relegation games this season. Austria was less successful in the cup competitions: In the ÖFB Cup, after a 0: 5 (0: 2) on September 23, 2014 in the Voralpenstadion Vöcklabruck against SK Sturm Graz in the 2nd round, the SFV Cup was the final destination they were eliminated on August 26th in the 3rd round with a 1: 2 (1: 0) at UFC Siezenheim.
Advance into professional football and bankruptcy
In the 2015/16 season Austria played in the second-rate first division and thus for the first time since its foundation in professional football. At the end of November 2015, the association announced that it had initiated restructuring proceedings without self-administration . A little later, the coach Jørn Andersen resigned due to a lack of athletic perspective. His successor was Gerald Baumgartner , who also took over the position of sporting director. Shortly thereafter, assistant coach Thomas Klochan and goalkeeping coach Alex Schriebl left the club. On March 1, 2016, the vast majority of creditors approved the restructuring plan. As a result, the club, which was in debt with 1.4 million euros, was able to end the 2015/16 season. While the ninth place would have been enough to keep up the sporting league despite the deduction of 6 points, the club was automatically relegated to the Regionalliga West due to the bankruptcy. The following season 2016/17 in the Regionalliga West ended with relegation to the Salzburg League. Another financial collapse could only be avoided through donations from the members.
