Dramatic football out: Vöcklamarkt and Gmundner Milk descend!

What a day for the Upper Austria league! June 7, 2025 will go into the history books as a crucial time, because the descent of several teams causes excitement in Upper Austrian football. The regional league Vöcklamarkt has now not officially made the leap into the Upper Austria league and will have to make friends with the fourth division in the coming season. But not only you have to go down, SV Gmundner milk also descends, despite a remarkable 4-0 victory over Micheldorf. A similar fate suffered from the ASK St. Valentin, which is also said goodbye to the Upper Austria league.

The game between UFC Rohrbach/Berg and Bad Schallerbach was particularly exciting. Rohrbach lost 0-2 and now also has to start the bitter walk into the lower league. If there had been a draw between Rohrbach and Schallerbach, all three descending teams should have worried about their whereabouts in the league. The drama of the relegation battle is definitely tangible that day.

But not everything was gray in gray. St. Martin celebrated a deserved 2-0 win against Pregarten and was able to save himself. The team breathes up, while Bad Ischl stays in the league despite a 2: 4 defeat against the ASK St. Valentin because they are four points ahead. It shows how quickly the situation in football can change and what twists a game can bring.

In other messages, Bad Schallerbach secured the runner -up title with the triumph via Rohrbach, which is a certain comfort. Dietach, on the other hand, had reason to celebrate: with a 1-0 win against Bad Leonfelden, the team crowned a championship and can look forward to a new challenge in the regional league center. In the derby, Mondsee against Friedburg was able to record a 2-1 win, as it were, and thus further consolidate his own reputation.

to the Upper Austria league at a glance

The Upper Austria league, also known as LT1 Upper Austria League, represents the fourth highest league in the Austrian football league system. For the first time, a league was held in Upper Austria in the 1919/20 season, which, however, often passed the name and several restructuring. Many clubs have tried for the championship over the years, with the Linz ASK standing out as a record winner with a total of eight titles between 1924 and 1933. The SK Vorwärts Steyr has been the record winner with seven titles since 1945.

Currently 16 teams are active in the league, which has again gained greater media importance through the partnership with Radio Upper Austria. In the past, the title of the Upper Austrian national champion was the highest, but lost value after the introduction of the entire Austrian championship. Nevertheless, the Upper Austria league remains an important springboard for talents who want to climb into the regional league.

This season has shown how exciting the relegation battle can also be in professional football. The stories that unfold here not only give fans to discuss fans, but definitely also some emotions and memories that will stay in the heads of the fans for a long time. It remains to be seen how things will continue in the next season. One thing is certain: the Upper Austria league continues to be mixed up and the clubs are ready to give everything!
