Austria were founded as a separate federation despite being part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1904. A famous team blossomed in the 1930s under Hugo Weisl and saw his side finish fourth in the 1934 World Cup and runner-ups in the 1936 Olympics. However, the 'Wunerteam' were cruelly disbanded by the Anschluss ahead of the second world war. Their first ever European Championship was in 2008, where they finished behind Poland and Germany in their group.
