Austria's European Championships Record
The Austrian Football team have qualified for seven World Cups, but never qualified for a European Championship. They will be making their first appearance in the competition in the Euro 2008, which they will host along with Switzerland. Austria are currently managed by Josef Hickersberger and captained by Panathinaikos player Andreas Ivanschitz, they qualified automatically for the European Championship of this year due to being co-hosts, not having to go through a qualifying campaign. Austria traditionally play their home international games in the Ernst-Happel Stadium in the beautiful city of Vienna, one of the stadiums that will be used in this year's European tournament. Playing at home will boost the players' morale and they stand a good chance of impressing in this tournament, in a group with Germany, Poland & Croatia.
