The official Austrian Football Association controls the Austrian national football team. The Association was founded in 1904.

The team automatically qualified for the Euro 2008 because they were a co-host. Not every home supporter was happy with this. They feared embarrassment results being in a group against top tier countries Germany, Poland and Croatia. Nevertheless, the team managed to limit the damage with a 1-1 against Poland and 1-0 lost against Croatia and Germany.
One of the most memorable participation was in the European Championship in 2016. The Austria national team was considered a group favorite. They were in a group with Portugal, Hungary and debutants Iceland. They started their campaign with a shocking defeat against Hungary. They later performed an astonishing draw (0-0) against Portugal.
