History
[edit]Austria Klagenfurt
[edit]Austria Klagenfurt played successfully in theKärntner Ligaand in 1960 were promoted to theAustrian Regional League Centralwhere they won the 1961–62 championship. Then a member of theAustrian Football Bundesliga(Liga A),they intermittently stayed in first league until their final relegation in 1989. In the 1992–93 season, the club found itself back in theKärntner Liga.
Though Austria Klagenfurt again gained the promotion to the Regional League Central in 1996, it seemed that the Carinthian Clubs would have to work together in order to send a team to the Bundesliga. This led to cooperation between SK Austria and Villacher SV, who also played in the Regional League, and were based in the nearby town ofVillach.In 1997, the clubs changed their name toFC Austria Klagenfurt/VSV[1]and were promoted to theFirst League.
FC Kärnten
[edit]In 1999, the clubs formally merged under the nameFC Kärnten.[2]After the hiring of managerWalter Schachnerin 2001, the team won theAustrian Cup,theSupercupand became champions of the First League, resulting in promotion to the Bundesliga the following season. The club, under the honorary presidency of GovernorJörg Haider,once again reached the finals of the Austrian Cup and the Supercup in 2003, which they both lost toFK Austria Wien.FC Kärnten played in the Bundesliga for three years until relegation in 2004.
Their decline continued, exacerbated by the resignation of Jörg Haider in 2006 and the foundation of rival clubSK Austria Kärntenin June 2007, who assumed the Bundesliga licence of the defunctASKÖ Pasching.The team had to cede their stadium, the present-dayHypo-Arena,to Austria Kärnten and retire to the small Fischl ground. At the end of the 2007–08 season, FC Kärnten slipped into the Regional League, prompting several players to leave the club.
In November 2008, the club went intoadministration,and the club ceased operations on 21 January 2009. The team's tradition is continued by theSK Austria Klagenfurtfootball club founded in 2007.
