2001-02 Austrian football championship

The **2001-02 Austrian football championship** was organized by the Austrian Football Bundesliga. The single-track First Division served as a substructure to the Bundesliga. The third performance level was represented by the regional leagues East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland), Middle (Upper Austria, Styria, Carinthia) and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg).

At the beginning of the season, a dispute broke out over the proportion of Austrians in national club games.  Some solutions (e.g.: half of the players in the match report must be Austrian) did not hold because they were only agreed upon as a gentleman's agreement and were obviously not considered binding.

FC Tirol Innsbruck became champion for the third time in a row. Only Rapid, Austria and Vienna have managed this. On June 6, 2002, FC Tirol Innsbruck's license for professional football was withdrawn due to serious financial problems. The club was dissolved. The club was then re-founded under the old name Wacker Innsbruck and took part in the 2002/03 Regionalliga West championship (3rd level) as a joint team with WSG Wattens under the name WSG Wattens/Wacker Tirol. The 2001/02 championship title, however, remained with Innsbruck.
