Austria Salzburg: The big plan for professional football 2025!

Austria Salzburg has made great progress and plans to return to professional football. The association received the necessary approval for the coming season in the 2nd league, a decision made by the license commission of the Austrian Bundesliga. This was made possible by the successful fulfillment of all necessary criteria, such as Salzburg.orf.at.

With this approval, Austria Salzburg will be able to play in the 2nd league next season. The club is optimistic about the upcoming challenges in terms of sporting perspective. In order to support the sporting goals, the club also plans to install a sports director that should be at the side of head coach Christian Schaider.

The desired solution Heimo Pfeifenberger

Heimo Pfeifenberger is considered a candidate for the position of the sports director. He currently looks after the Puch club until the end of the season, but has already held talks with several clubs. The Salzburg League Eugendorf is also interested in his obligation. An alternative solution for the position could be Stephan Marasek, who was most recently active in Stripfing and also has discussions with Austria Salzburg, as Laola1.at.

Developments related to licensing are not to be considered isolated. On March 3, 2025, the delivery period for license and registration applications for the 2025/26 season ended in professional football. A total of 35 applications from various clubs were submitted, including 12 from the Admiral Bundesliga and 16 from Admiral 2nd League and representatives from all three regional leaves, such as [Ligaportal.at] (https://www.ligaportal.at/bundesliga/allgemeinde/17738-lizierungs-und-zulus- 2025-26-35-klub-Antraege-Einkt.

A license is mandatory for participation in the Admiral Bundesliga. This also entitles you to participate in Admiral 2. League. The Bundesliga license administration is checked. The decision on admission is expected in April 2025, which is of great importance for many clubs, including Austria Salzburg. The decision about possible protests is also closely linked to the schedule, so that there should be clarity by the end of April 2025.
