Team Overview
The Austria national football team ( German : Österreichische Fußballnationalmannschaft ) represents Austria in men's international football competitions, and is controlled by the Austrian Football Association . The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) was founded on 18 March 1904, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During the 1930s, under coach Hugo Meisl , Austria's national team, known as the "Wunderteam" (literally "Miracle Team"), became a dominant force in European football. Notable achievements included a fourth-place finish in the 1934 FIFA World Cup and silver medal at the 1936 Olympic Games . The Anschluss in 1938, which annexed Austria into Nazi Germany , led to the dissolution of the ÖFB and the obligatory integration of Austrian players into the German national team for the 1938 World Cup .
