With Peter and Friedrich Koncilia , Walter Skocik , Roland Hattenberger , Helmut Siber , Manfred Gombasch and Günther Rinker , numerous players joined the new team that would become regular players in the future championship eleven. Even if they are mainly remembered today as "Wacker players", they came from Wattens. Friedl Koncilia was the only one among them who was the first WSG Wattens footballer to play in the Austrian national team even before the game community .

Wattens was able to hold on to the introduction of the play-off system in 1985 in the 2nd division and failed in the Regionalliga West as runner-up in 1986, in 1988 only barely on the rise before this succeeded a season later. During this time, Robert Wazinger and Roland Kirchler , who later went to Innsbruck and were also used in the national team, played. This time Wattens stayed in the second tier until 1994, but after only one year in the regional league, the club reported back with immediate promotion. With the second division reform of 1998, however, came back to the Regionalliga West. The almost obligatory resurgence followed just one season later. The Tyroleans stayed in the second division until 2001, but this time relegation was only followed by the runner-up title.

Club coat of arms (2003 to 2009)

With the rise, however, the solution of the gambling community was connected. The FC Wacker exercised the right of promotion, the Werksportgemeinschaft Wattens played after the promotion of the second team in the Tyrolean league. After the Tyrolean championship title in 2005, WSG Wattens is back in the Regionalliga West and has now set itself the goal of advancing to the first division . The club just missed this as runner-up in the Regionalliga West 2008/09 . In the 2010/11 season they missed the promotion in the relegation against Blau-Weiß Linz after a 1-0 away win and a 0-1 in the second leg after extra time on penalties with 3: 4 again. In the 2011/12 season , the Wattenern under coach Roland Kirchler managed to win the championship title of the Regionalliga West with a six point lead over USK Anif , who placed second . The team accomplished the feat of remaining undefeated in all 30 games of the season. This qualified the Tyroleans for the relegation games against SV Horn , the representative of the Regionalliga Ost. The Lower Austrians turned out to be too strong, the Wattener lost the home game in front of 3,000 spectators with 1: 5 and were defeated 0: 4 away.

In the following seasons you always placed in the top three, but it wasn't enough for promotion. In 2015/16 they made the first place in the Regionalliga West. The relegation game between WSG Wattens and FC Blau-Weiß Linz was canceled because SV Grödig had become an amateur club and SV Austria Salzburg and SK Austria Klagenfurt had not received their license.
