Union Matrei celebrates ascent-Carinthian league reform brings changes!
The Union Matrei has secured the promotion to the Carinthian league today after winning the decisive relegation game against sub -Carinthia 2-0. In the second leg, which took place in the Tauern Stadium in front of around 1,400 spectators, Hannes Wibmer scored the first goal in the 80th minute, followed by Luca Ronacher, who increased to 2-0 shortly afterwards. This marks an important success for the team, which had already achieved a tie (1-1) in the first relegation game against the same opponent, in which Oliver Gomig achieved the equalization shortly before half-time, as [Dolomitenstadt] (https://www.dolomitenstadt.at/2025/16/union-matrei-kaerntner-liga-wir- come.
The rise of the Union Matrei comes at a critical time when the Carinthian amateur football faces a comprehensive reform. From the 2025/26 season, three geographically oriented underlays (east, center and west) will be introduced. This reorganization is intended to reduce the travel expenses and times of the clubs and at the same time promote regional derbies, which could potentially increase the interest in viewers. However, critics of the reform express concerns about a possible devaluation of the 1st and 2nd classes as well as a level of level in the new underlays, as reports https://sport-fan.at/ligareform-das-kaerntner-unterhaus-sich- new--tabellen/).
Overall, there are numerous changes that result from this reform. The class classification stipulates that the Union Matrei follows the master of the Unterliga West, FC WR Nußdorf-Debant, in the Carinthian league. In addition, several new clubs have registered for the Unterliga West, including Union Sillian/Heinfels and SV Greifenburg. On the other hand, some clubs, such as the SG Virgen/Prägraten, had to leave the 1. class A, which is collected by the VS Tristach. The Carinthian Football Association (KFV), which was founded in 1921 and is the umbrella organization of all football clubs in Carinthia and East Tyrol, plays a central role in this restructuring. The KFV is based in Klagenfurt and is a decent member of the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB), as on [wikipedia The new structures in Carinthian football
view of the upcoming seasons
With the aim of optimizing the structure in Carinthian football, the aim is to achieve a better geographical assignment of the leagues. There are currently a total of 44 teams in the subspecies, although the exact division is still unclear. The number of 2nd classes is not yet determined and depends on the registered teams. In addition to the sporting competition, the question of possible club resolutions remains open, which also makes the future in Carinthian amateur football uncertain.
The new season thus promises a lot of movement and could significantly influence the “punch” of the Carinthian leagues, while the Union Matrei is taking on its newly won challenges for the Carinthian League.
