Allianz Stadion
The Allianz Stadion in the Hütteldorf district of Vienna, Austria is the home ground of FK Rapid Wien (Rapid Vienna). It was built on the site of the former 18,500-capacity Gerhard-Hanappi-Stadion (Weststadion) which was Rapid's home from 1977 to 2014.
Gerhard Hanappi played for Rapid from 1950 to 1965 and is regarded as one of their best players ever.

The Ernst Happel Stadium is the largest football stadium in Austria. It is where the Austrian national football team plays, but is rarely used at the club level. Until 1992, the stadium was known as the Prater Stadium (Praterstadion). It was built between 1929 and 1931 for the second Workers' Olympiad, and designed by the German architect Otto Ernst Schweizer.

Bundesstadion Südstadt
VfB Admira Wacker Mödling began life in 1997 following the merger of VfB Mödling and SCN Admira/Wacker. The team from a southern suburb of Vienna play their home games at the 10,600 capacity Bundesstadion Südstadt (now Datenpol Arena, previously motion_invest Arena). Admira had previously merged with Wacker in 1971. The original Admira were successful in the 1930s and famous for their all black kit and for appearing in Wim Wender's movie The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty.
Their location outside Vienna has lead to a lack of a fanbase and the club was under the Iranian ownership of Majid Pishyar and languishing in the second tier of Austrian football for a period. Pishyar sold the club to Richard Trenkwalder in 2008. Trenkwalder made a number of changes to the club, including changing its name to FC Trenkwalder Admira. The club gained promotion back to the Austrian first division following the 2010-11 season but now (2026-2027) competes in the 2. Liga, the second tier of Austrian football.
Generali Arena
The Generali Arena (Franz Horr Stadium) is the home ground of FK Austria Wien. It is called Viola Park for UEFA matches.
The 17,500 capacity stadium first opened back in 1925 in the Favoriten district as the České srdce (Czech Heart) Platz, the home of SK Slovan Wien, a club associated with Vienna's immigrant Czech community.
The stadium was badly damaged during the Second World War and subsequently underwent reconstruction, becoming a venue for various sporting activities before eventually being taken over by the Vienna Football Association.
In 1973, FK Austria Wien moved to the ground, establishing what would become its permanent home, and following the death of Vienna Football Association president Franz Horr in 1974, the stadium was renamed the Franz-Horr-Stadion in his honour.
Over the following decades, the ground was progressively modernised, with new stands constructed in 1982, 1987, 1999 and 2008. A major redevelopment between 2016 and 2018 transformed the stadium into a modern 17,500-capacity football arena, officially reopening with a match between Austria Wien and Borussia Dortmund in July 2018.
The ground is close to the Altes Landgut station on the U1 underground line.
Hohe Warte Stadium
First Vienna FC is Austria's oldest club, founded in 1894 by English gardeners working on Baron Rothchild's estate. The team play in yellow shirts and blue shorts (from Rothchild's horse racing colors) at the approximately 5,000 capacity Hohe Warte Stadium. Take U-Bahn Line 4 to Heiligenstadt. After their glory days in the late 1920s "Vienna" now play their football in 2. Liga after a spell in Regionalliga Ost - the third tier of domestic Austrian soccer.
Wiener Sport-Club Platz
Wiener Sport-Club Platz in the Dornbach district is the home ground of Wiener Sport-Club who presently play in the Regionalliga Ost, the third tier of Austrian soccer. The venue dates from 1904 and is the oldest football ground still in use in Austria. Since 2026, the stadium has also been used for home matches of the Austrian women's national football team, the youth national football teams, and the national rugby team. The 5,600 capacity stadium has floodlighting and a grass pitch.
The Sport-Club Platz is a three-sided stadium with a horseshoe-shaped layout that opens to the east. Spectators are situated very close to the pitch, and the ground is located in the middle of a residential area.
The northern stand is known as the "Cemetery Stand", a name derived from its location opposite Dornbach Cemetery. This standing terrace is traditionally occupied by the fan clubs of Wiener Sport-Club. During international fixtures, it is converted into a seated area, reducing the stadium's capacity by around 1,000. The long western side contains the main stand, with the players' changing rooms situated underneath. At the southern end is the "Black Stand", formerly known as the "Blue Stand", which is used to accommodate visiting supporters when required.
Sport-Club-Platz was one of Austria's stadiums most urgently in need of modernisation. In October 2018, the Vienna City Council approved €6.25 million in funding for its renovation.
The stadium can be reached by the S45 rapid transit line and by tram lines 10, 43 and 2.
