Sportverein Austria Salzburg

The Sportverein Austria Salzburg (shortly SV Austria Salzburg)  is an Austrian footballclub based in Salzburg. The club was founded in 2005 after the Red Bull takover of the old Austria Salzburg.
History
The club was founded in September 2005 after the Red Bull takover of the 1933 founded club SV Austria Salzburg. Due to differences about the new club supporters left the now socalled FC Red Bull Salzburg and founded SV Austria Salzburg. Role models were the fanbiased English clubs AFC Wimbledon and FC United of Manchester. The club claims to preserve the tradition of SV Austria Salzburg.

The season 2005/06 they played together with PSV Schwarz-Weiß in the Salzburger Landesliga (4th class) but at the end of the season the cooperation ended. The club has to start in the 7. class of Austrian football. The first match of the new SV Austria Salzburg was played on 29 July 2006 against Lieferinger SV, another football club from the city of Salzburg. SV Austria Salzburg won 6–0.But the following seasons they won the classes they played in so they play the season 2010/11 in the Regionalliga West, which is the 3rd class of Austrian league system.

In the 2014–15 season  the club was promoted to the First League, the second tier of Austrian football. The promotion to the First League forced the club into debt of €900,000 by November 2015. It was caused by an increased budget for the players and  a security requirement  In November 2015 they were fined €40,000 and had 6 points deducted. This was due to their failure to adhere to the league's stadium requirements. The same year they were relegated.

Now Austria Salzburg is playing in the Regionalliga Salzburg (3rd level). In the 2023/24 season, SV Austria Salzburg and FC Red Bull Salzburg met for the first time in 18 years in the second round of the ÖFB Cup.  The first division team won 4-0. Austria Salzburg would have qualified for promotion to professional football (second division) in the same season. However, objections from developers who wanted to build apartments next to the stadium led to the need for a noise barrier next to the stadium. The funding and approval for this came too late for the approval process. SV Austria Salzburg will therefore continue to play in the Regionalliga West in the 2024/25 season. In mid-April 2025 they received initial approval for a second division license.  On matchday 30, SV Austria Salzburg won the championship title in the Regionalliga West again with a 1-0 victory against SC Schwaz and thus were promoted to the 2nd league.
