Austria Salzburg celebrates sensational promotion to the 2nd league!

An exciting chapter in the history of football in Salzburg has reached its peak today. The Salzburger Austria returns to Austrian professional football after almost 20 years. On the last matchday of the Regionalliga West, the purple kept their nerves and secured the championship title with a narrow 1-0 win against SC Schwaz and thus promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga.

in a sold-out Max-Aicher Stadium, which welcomed around 1700 spectators, the decisive goal of Marinko Sorda in the 86th minute caused limitless jubilation. Although a simple point would have been enough for the climb, the players around coach Christian Schaider showed their determination and played for victory. "That was the gate we waited for so long," said Sorda, who, with his performance, contributed significantly to the success of the team.

a consistently strong team

The Austria Salzburg has led the table continuously since the 20th round and no longer gave this prestigious place until the end. The team only had to surrender four times throughout the season, while it came up with an impressive goal difference of 71:24. In the parallel game, the main competitor, the SV Imst, was able to achieve a 3-0 victory against Hohenems, but that was not enough to pass Austria-ultimately there was a lack of three points.

nervousness was noticeable in the team at the beginning, since dangerous degrees were in short supply in the first half. Alexander Schwaighofer had a chance with a side puller in the early minute, but the players could only partially convert their superiority into goals. Matthias Theiner and Milos Savic also did not hit the mark, which only increased the tension in front of Sorda's much -acclaimed goal.

a story of return and triumph

With this championship title in the Regionalliga West, Austria Salzburg is already celebrating its second title in a row. Ten years after returning to professional football, you have now achieved the long -awaited goal: the return to the 2nd Bundesliga, the highest football class in Austria, where a total of 12 professional teams play for the championship.

The climb not only affects the players and the club themselves, but also touches the many fans who have been waiting for this historical moment for a long time. After the difficulties and challenges in recent years, this ascent is recognized with a big celebration. The city of Salzburg can proudly look at its club, which makes it clear that patience and realistic training pay off.

The Salzburg Austria is now back and ready to show what is made of it on the larger stage of Austrian football. The fans can look forward to exciting games, while the team is facing new challenges in the 2nd Bundesliga. Once again the Austria Salzburg has proven that it is a heart in Salzburg sport and ready to take the big wooden path of the sport.

Thanks to their strong season and the tireless support of the fans, Austria Salzburg not only conquered its own club, but also the heart of the entire city. As you say so beautifully: "We are there every further step on the way up!"
