The Austria national football team is the association football team that represents the country of Austria in international competition and is controlled by the Austrian Football Association.

The other host in this game- -Austria which has not qualified for international competitions for 10 years. Their last one was the WC 1998 in France. They lost to Czech and Holland in EURO 2004 qualifiers. Originally they had good perfomance in early qualifiers of World Cup, making a draw 2-2 against England, but they failed to advanced from the group.

With only friendly games to prepare themselves for co-hosting the finals, Austria have endured some tough times.Charged with the task of building a new Austria side for 2008, the coach Josef Hickersberger knew the process was likely to be a painful one.

Austria has qualified for seven World Cups, most recently in 1998. The country played in the European Championship for the first time in 2008 when it co-hosted the event with Switzerland and most recently qualified in 2016.<\/P>","0284C3E6252CDEEA":"Ralf Rangnick","500D9C7B9500177D0E53F89F378715C8":"","0C852134AA40B2DD":"1","D5AF1249DEAE15446FB07F95BE07BAC61FCF1CF21901A599":"1","D818D0DBB58D9A673E378E57E02D444F9E96A907729BB512":"1904","3D9B31C67DFDD0FC8C73053EF2ADBD66":"","937DE1BE2366A0DF":"http:\/\/www.oefb.at","42B1B76A697DFC47":"26.23","761C3792446BE5ED2EFE4C1CAFC95D68":"1958-6-29","0357E9507AE48270":"1","92DC52DD0D4041625C68AA7C024C7F67":"Austria","D5AF1249DEAE15440A9E01742A8A4E92":"0","50DCDC085A8BF7E4518E56CD69FC7EB2":"50865\/68500","A9113A766E3C872ED6E5814BC86CB140":"177cm","2C96C5176EAF712DA7D4D953D3793B1F":"Ralf Rangnick","e_index":1};
