The Villacher SV is a football club from Villach , Carinthia in Austria and existed as an independent club from 1920 to 1997 and since 2006. The club made it into the second highest Austrian soccer league and in a syndicate with the WSG Radenthein even into the highest level in Austria. The clubs FC Kärnten and FC Villach, which no longer exist today, can be regarded as temporary successor clubs . The ice hockey section , which has now become an independent section and bears the name EC VSV , is also very well known .
History of Villacher SV
Founding time
The Italian garrison of garrisons stationed here in 1919/20 gave the impetus to found a football club in Villach . This was stationed on today's Seebach site and had set up a provisional football field on the Napoleon meadow to practice the sport so popular with the Italians, on which the Villach population was soon allowed to chase the ball. In autumn 1919 the first comparative battles, then known as propaganda games, took place between Italian soldiers' teams and the mainly young male population of Villach. At the beginning the football sport was ridiculed by the majority of Villachers and described as too raw, but the interest of the young boys had become so great that they thought of founding their own club. On May 12, 1920 , a founding meeting was held in what was then the "Café Drau" and the Villacher Sports Club (Villacher SV) was officially founded with the club colors blue and white. With the founding of the association, the founding team with the players Bauer, Manesi, Gregoritsch, Fisch, Popp, Geiger, Ringer, Guth, Berger, Richter, Pratnecker, Perkonig, Kober, Beck, Nehammer was launched. The Villacher SV was the first football club in Upper Carinthia. In August of the same year, the club held a game against an Italian military team on the Seebach riding school grounds . While the Villach athletes were only observed by a few random day trippers at the beginning, 1,500 spectators came to this comparison match.
Villacher SV celebrated its first major success by winning the state championship title in the 1st Carinthian class, the highest level in Carinthian football at the time. The opponents in this memorable year were Klagenfurter SV, Klagenfurt AC , Amateurs SK Klagenfurt and Deutscher SK Villach. In the Carinthian “10. October Cup “the blue-whites were eliminated in the first round against the Klagenfurt AC. In 1925, the Villachers reached the final in the October 10th Cup and played again against the Klagenfurt AC. The outcome of this final game is no longer known today. In 1927 the decision about the Carinthian national champion was determined in a final game that Villacher SV played against Klagenfurter SV. This result is also not known. In 1931, the club was defeated by SK Austria Klagenfurt in the semi-finals of the cup with just 0: 1. Villacher SV also failed in the final of the 10th October Cup of 1935 at Klagenfurter Austria. After the home game was won 2-1, the game was abandoned in the second leg when the score was 0-1. The Klagenfurt team clearly won the replay 5: 1.
War 1939–1945
After the National Socialists came to power in Austria , there was also a reorganization of the Austrian ( East Mark ) football scene. For the first time, federal state clubs from the newly established district classes (2nd level) were also able to qualify for the highest East Markets league. The Villach sports club played in the southern district class against clubs from Carinthia and Styria and took a very good fourth place. In the following season 1939/40, the two federal states played their champions again in separate leagues. As in the following years in 1941, 1942 and 1943, Villacher SV won the championship title in the 1st Carinthian class, but lost to the Grazer SC in the game for the Styrian-Carinthian overall champion. In the promotion round to the Gauliga Donau-Alpenland , the VSV failed in 1943 with zero points from four games clearly to the clubs LSV Markersdorf an der Pielach and Kapfenberger SC .
The management of the VSV at that time was also controlled by the National Socialists , but the functionaries understood very well to act somewhat differently from the ideology of the time. The first reports about a gifted VSV player, namely Ernst Melchior , also fall during the war .
post war period
After the championship of 1944/45 was not played out, a championship, held for the first time with only four clubs, including the VSV, followed in spring 1946, with each team only playing against each other once. From autumn 1946 the championship was divided into two classes, in practice the 1st class as the highest national class was the first “Carinthian League”. In the 1947/48 season, the Villach sports club secured the Carinthian State Cup, newly introduced as the successor to the October 10th Cup, with a 3-1 final win against city rivals ESV Villach. In the 1948/49 season, the newly founded national leagues represented the second level of play in Austria after the introduction of the State League A. However, the system that had been in force since 1946/47 remained upright in Carinthia, the 1st class remained the highest league - and the Carinthian also showed Regional association, in contrast to the other eight regional associations, no interest in its clubs being able to take advantage of the given chance to advance to the nationwide Austrian state league. Villacher SV finished the season in second place in the Carinthian regional league and thus qualified for the second-class Tauern league , which was set up from the 1949/50 season and comprised the best clubs in Carinthia and Salzburg. After winning the title in this class, Villacher failed in the promotion round to the State League A at Linz ASK and PSV Innsbruck . In 1955/56 the Tauern League was divided into the areas south (Carinthia) and north (Salzburg). From 1959/60, the Carinthian clubs played in the Regionalliga Mitte , which was now established instead of the Tauern League , in which only one club from Carinthia was represented in the first year with the WSG Radenthein . The VSV was able to rise for the first time after the championship title in 1961/62, but had to relegate again after two seasons. In 1964/65 the new title and promotion was achieved, but they were only represented in the Regionalliga Mitte for one year. The next title win came only in 1969/70.
In 1973 the Villachers, at that time third in the 1972/73 season, entered a syndicate with WSG Radenthein , the title holder of this championship, and as WSG Radenthein / VSV they achieved 15th place in the highest Austrian league (since 1965/66 as the "National League “), Which would have been enough to keep the league, had it not been for the major Bundesliga reform in spring 1974 (with far-reaching and radical measures). Only 10 selected clubs were allowed to take part in the new Bundesliga (a team from practically every federal state; from Carinthia it was Austria Klagenfurt ; the exception was Vienna with its two traditional clubs "Rapid" and "Austria"). All regional leagues were dissolved; the national league was continued for one season as the second level (with the WSG Radenthein / VSV) and then by the Bundesliga-2. Division replaced. The syndicate with Radenthein was dissolved again at the end of the 1974/75 season, the Villacher SV took over the league place in the Bundesliga-2. Division. After relegation in 1983, which was only sealed in the last round, the VSV played for two years in the Carinthian regional league and returned to the second Bundesliga for one year in the 1985/86 season (after a successful qualification for promotion) back. After initially positive results, there was a relapse, the club had to fight for relegation in the relegation play-off in the spring, but it did not succeed.

Merger to form FC Kärnten
The 1990s meant both an end and a new beginning for Villacher SV. After relegation in 1986, the VSV played in the Carinthian League, before being promoted to the re-introduced Middle Regional League from the 1994/95 season. After the 1996/97 season, the board of Villacher SV decided to merge with SK Austria Klagenfurt to form FC Austria / VSV Kärnten , with several games of this syndicate being played in the Villach stadium ("Lind stadium"). Already in the 1997/98 season this syndicate became champions of the Regionalliga and subsequently qualified against FC Untersiebenbrunn (champions of the Regionalliga Ost), after a 1: 2 away match, with a home 2: 0 for the second highest Austrian division , which from now on bore the name "First League". In autumn 1999 the renaming of FC Austria / VSV to FC Kärnten (Klagenfurt) took place. FC Kärnten finished the 2000/01 season as champions of the 2nd league and, in addition to being promoted to the Bundesliga, also sensationally celebrated the cup victory with a 2-1 final win against FC Tirol Innsbruck . In the same year, the Supercup was won 0-0 and 10-9 on penalties against the same club. In 2003, FC Kärnten again reached the finals in the ÖFB Cup , but lost to FK Austria Wien as well as in the Supercup . Villacher SV was finally absorbed into the new FC Kärnten and thus a thing of the past. This is also because the Villachers could for the most part no longer identify with FC Carinthia, which was playing in Klagenfurt, and were working on establishing a new, own club. That FC Carinthia, however, rose first from the Bundesliga in 2004 and then from the second-highest class ( first league ) in 2008 . Due to immense financial problems, the game had to be stopped on January 21, 2009 during the current regional league season. No partner for a syndicate could be found for the 2009/10 season.

New beginning (1997-2005)
Play community and restart in the lowest class
The new beginning was not as difficult as it was to be feared. At the same time as the previous Klagenfurt / VSV club became FC Kärnten , the Villachers entered a (new) syndicate with local rivals SC Landskron, who played in the Carinthian regional league , which existed until the end of the 2001/02 season. At the same time, the VSV was revived thanks to Herbert Michl and above all Josef Wirth, who subsequently assumed financial responsibility as president. While the club's activities at the beginning concentrated on continuing the successful youth work, from autumn 2002 onwards it was possible to start its own team in the 2nd class, regional group B (the squad consisted entirely of its own young players or "experienced" young players from Villach Room) under coach Gernot Jank (VSV player in the 2nd division, son of the legendary VSV trainer "Herr Jank") immediate promotion to 1st class can be achieved. At the same time, the Wallner family established FC Villach as an independent youth club.
FC Villach
FC Villach had nothing to do with the VSV, apart from the people involved (Wallner family). The club was founded in 1997 as an independent soccer club to promote youth work in the Villach region. The club was brought into being by the later president of BSV Bad Bleiberg and SEZ AG boss Egon Putzi, his authorized signatory Peter Grünwald and the Villach soccer player and young talent Wolfgang Wallner. The vision was that the city of Villach, like in the 1970s, should become a football stronghold again with home-made players. In the early days, young players from the SV Fellach and BSV SEZ Bad Bleiberg clubs were used; later the club had teams in all age groups. The partner clubs of FC Villach such as SV Fellach / VSV, ESV Admira Villach or SEZ Bad Bleiberg supported the development work by bringing players into the performance model with but also without an exchange process. After neither the VSV (SV Fellach / VSV) nor the FC Villach saw any point in continuing to go their separate ways in the youth work, the two clubs merged in 2005.
SV Villach (2005-2016)
The SV Fellach / VSV took on the FC Villach in 2005 and founded the SV Villach. The name was chosen based on the old Villacher SV, as well as the club colors with the colors blue and white. The fighting team entered the Carinthian League in the 2005/06 season and set their goal for the next few years to move up to the Middle Regional League and maybe even to the Austrian Bundesliga. In 2010/11, the VSV rose as champions with 76 points (23 points ahead) in the Regionalliga Mitte, where they took second place in the first year and fifth in the following year. In 2013/14, however, the VSV (with two relegated teams) had to relegate back to the Carinthian League as the penultimate.
From 2011/12 there was also a second team (it was called VSV 1b / Amateure) in the championship, which made the march into the lower league from the lowest level (exactly from 2nd class C with 159: 14 goals and 86 points , no defeat), but relegated from the minor league again. Since several players left the club from the first team that had just been relegated, the amateur team was disbanded to replenish the squad. Coach Peter Hrstic left the club, Diethardt Sauerbier (ex-player at SC Moosburg) took over. Overall, the newly formed team was not strong enough and had to be relegated from the Carinthian league after the 2014/15 season. After 14 points from autumn, not a single point was achieved in spring. After the last round, which was played on June 12, 2015 and ended with a 3-0 home defeat against SK Maria Saal, coach Sauerbier resigned. On June 24, 2015, Gernot Jank from Villach was hired as the new coach. Jank was a player for his home club in the 1980s and a VSV coach about ten years ago; Until just before the end of the 2014/15 season, he was the coach of FC Hermagor (Lower League West), which was then relegated. From spring to autumn 2015, the VSV played its home games on the smaller sports facility in the Goritschach district.
After a general meeting, the club announced the withdrawal of its first team from the championship in spring 2016. On January 26, 2016, restructuring proceedings without self-administration were opened at the Klagenfurt Regional Court via the club . A debt of 200,000 euros with around 30 creditors contrasted with assets of 12,000 euros. The bulk of the debt was legacy. Contrary to the announcement to start a new beginning in the lowest division (2nd class) in the autumn, the club management did not bring a first team up and running. But it was still played (mostly in syndicates) in the youth area.
