Austria National Football Team Profile

The game received an even greater fillip in 1919 as the introduction of an eight-hour working day gave the population more leisure time.

In the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, they had lost two games and would almost surely finish last in their Second Round group of four teams, but they put in a special effort for their last game in Córdoba against West Germany, which had still chances of qualifying for the Final. The Austrians also denied the defending world champion a trip to the Third Place match. During the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, Austria and West Germany met again, in the last game of Round 1. Because the other two teams in the group had played their last game the previous day, both teams knew that a West German win by one goal would see both through, while all other results would eliminate one team or the other.

Together with neighbours Switzerland, Austria successfully hosted the UEFA EURO 2008 finals, an important milestone in the history of the ÖFB. It was the nation's first appearance at a senior UEFA European Championship.
