The recorded chronology lists Franco Foda from November 2017 to March 2022 and Marcel Koller from October 2011 to October 2017.

Austria Transfers
For Austria, movement into the senior setup is created through national-team call-ups, eligibility decisions and returns from club duty, not through transfers, loans or free-agent agreements. The current recorded squad contains 26 players across goalkeeping, defensive, midfield and attacking roles, but no individual arrival is identified for this selection cycle. Accordingly, this section describes the mechanism rather than assigning a transfer label to any player. Selection additions may reflect a first call-up, a recall or availability after absence, while the player’s club registration remains separate from Austria’s international squad.
Austria’s departures are also selection events, not sales, loans or released contracts. Players leave an international camp when they are omitted from a squad, withdraw through availability or fitness circumstances, or return to their clubs after a fixture window. No specific omission or withdrawal is identified in the material for the recorded squad snapshot, so no individual departure is assigned. The 26-player roster provides the active selection context, while club registration and employment remain outside the national team’s movement record. This distinction keeps international availability separate from the football transfer market.
Transfers Synthesis
Austria’s selection cycle is built around eligibility, form, availability and the coach’s assessment of roles within each international window. A player enters the national setup through a call-up or recall, remains tied to a separate club registration, and may leave the group through omission, withdrawal or the normal return to club duty after matches. The recorded 26-player squad shows the resulting balance across three goalkeepers, 10 defenders, 11 midfielders and two attackers. It does not establish a complete history of additions or departures, and no individual movement is specified for this snapshot. The practical pattern is therefore one of changing international availability rather than buying, selling or loaning players. Ralf Rangnick’s ongoing tenure provides the coaching framework for the current selection period, with decisions shaped by Austria’s competitive schedule and player readiness.
Leagues Austria has participated in
The World Cup is the latest active competition in Austria’s participation record, with 2026 as the latest recorded year. The Euro Championship is recorded through 2024, alongside historical entries for Friendlies and the UEFA Nations League, each also reaching 2024. European qualifying has two separate records: World Cup qualifying through 2024 and Euro Championship qualifying in 2023. These entries cover finals, qualification and non-competitive internationals rather than a single league campaign. The record therefore places Austria in the 2026 World Cup cycle while treating the other listed competitions as historical at this date.
More about Austria
Austria is the Austrian national football team, representing the country in senior international football. The Austrian Football Association, known as the ÖFB, governs the team; the federation was founded in 1904 and is affiliated with FIFA and UEFA. Austria’s visual identity follows the national red-white-red colours, with traditional home kits in red and white and the federal eagle prominent on the crest. The team is commonly identified with the ÖFB-Team name, while its historic 1930s side is remembered as the Wunderteam.
The national side’s deepest historical association is with the Wunderteam of the 1930s. Under Hugo Meisl, that generation became known for sophisticated passing combinations often linked with the Vienna School and completed a celebrated 14-match unbeaten run. Austria finished fourth at the 1934 FIFA World Cup, while another landmark generation placed third at the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. These periods remain central to the country’s football heritage and help explain the esteem attached to Austria’s early international tradition.
Austria has no single permanent home for senior internationals. The Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna has traditionally hosted many important fixtures, while the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg and Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt are among the regional venues used for home matches. Support is shaped by independent fan communities and Fanclub Austria, whose travelling presence gives away fixtures a strong national character.
The modern pathway connects senior selection with a broad youth structure. The ÖFB’s development ecosystem includes regional academies and elite youth leagues spanning age groups from under-15 to under-21, creating routes into the senior team. Austria’s competitive environment includes World Cups, European Championships, UEFA Nations League matches, qualifying programmes and friendlies. Historic contests with Germany, Hungary and Switzerland reflect the team’s Central European setting, while the red-white-red identity links heritage, federation stewardship and contemporary international football.
