Lower Austrian Football Association

The Lower Austrian Football Association (Germanː NÖFV-Niederösterreichische Fußballverband) is the leading body of football in the federal state of Lower Austria.
History 
On 16 May 1911, the association was founded as the Lower Austrian Football Association (NFV). Also the  Viennese clubs belonged  zo the association because Vienna was a part of Lower Austria. The first championship started in September 1911, with eleven Viennese clubs taking part. SC Rapid became the first champions.   The championship already had mandatory kick-off times and there were relegation games between the first and second tiers. 

After the First World war and the end of the monarchy  Vienna remained the capital of Lower Austria. After lengthy discussions, the “Separation Act” was passed at the end of 1921 and Vienna became its own federal state on 1January  1922. This was also important for the Association. On 15 February 1923 it was divided into the Vienna Football Association and the Lower Austrian Football Association.
