After 28 years of absence, Austria returned to the World Cup, reaching the 2026 edition. Although they arrived with little expectation, head coach Ralf Rangnick led them to the knockout stage. As a result, they have marked a historic milestone, so we are going to review their journey. Throughout World Cup history, Austria have not been one of the strongest national teams in the tournament. Relying on a young sporting project, they already have several stars such as David Alaba, Marcel Sabitzer, and Konrad Laimer in their roster, who are now veterans. However, they went 28 years without qualifying for the tournament before making a major impact in this edition under Ralf Rangnick. Austria have qualified for eight editions of the World Cup, leaving a great legacy in their early appearances. After several years of accumulating average performances and absences, they played in the 1998 edition, where they were eliminated in the group stage. Following 28 years without playing in another edition, they returned in the 2026 World Cup, where they were not expected to perform well. Despite losing to Argentina, Ralf Rangnick’s team managed to defeat Jordan and draw against Algeria, reaching the knockout stage and surprising many. Although Austria have a strong squad, they are still far from matching their best performances in the tournament’s history. Although they have never won the title, they did leave an important legacy at the beginning of the 20th century. How far have Austria advanced in the World Cup? Head coach Hugo Meisl led Austria to their first World Cup in 1934. There, they managed to impress with their collective style of play, reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Although they seemed ready to establish a legacy, they disappeared from the tournament for 20 years, not returning until the 1954 World Cup. In that edition, they managed to finish in third place. However, their level declined considerably in the next editions.

Surprisingly, they managed to reach the Second Group Stage, an old format that featured mini-leagues, finishing among the top eight teams in the tournament. They then made an impact again at the 1982 World Cup, also reaching the Second Group Stage, but this time finishing among the top 12 teams.

After 72 years, they have not managed to repeat a similar performance in the tournament.
