Buy Sturm Graz tickets for the 2026/27 Season and you are buying into one of Austrian football's great modern success stories. Sturm won back-to-back league titles in 2024 and 2025, ending Red Bull Salzburg's run of ten straight championships, and their home at Graz-Liebenau holds a little over 16,000 for league games, with the standing Nordkurve behind one goal setting the tone. This season brings Austrian Bundesliga football, the Graz derby against GAK and a Europa League league-phase campaign with visits from clubs such as Marseille and Rennes.

1BoxOffice lists seats for Sturm's matches as sellers add them, so you can compare price points, seating areas and delivery methods side by side before you commit. The guide below explains how the club sells its own seats, where to sit at Liebenau, what you can expect to pay and how a club founded in a Graz park in 1909 became a regular in the Champions League.
Sturm sells its own seats through an online shop, the SturmShops in the city and a matchday box office at the stadium. Members get a two-day presale for home games and pay member prices, and season ticket holders take a large share of the ground before any single-match seat goes on sale. For most league games that still leaves a reasonable choice for the general public.
The biggest fixtures are a different matter. For the Europa League home game against Marseille, the club restricted sales to members and season ticket holders, with a limit of four per person and no general sale at all. The Graz derby and Salzburg's visits can fill the ground well before matchday, and kick-off times for league games are often fixed only a few weeks ahead to suit television.
A marketplace gives travelling supporters another route. Listings can appear as soon as a fixture is announced, sellers state the area and delivery method before you pay and you can compare options without joining the club first. Read the listing notes carefully, since Sturm issues named tickets and runs its own resale platform for sold-out games.
1BoxOffice has run as a ticket marketplace since 2006, serving supporters across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Each purchase runs through a secure checkout and sellers are vetted before their listings go live, so you know who you are dealing with before you plan a trip to Styria.
The protection that matters most is the 150% guarantee. If tickets are not delivered and no comparable alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund, and a credit voucher worth 50% of the original order value (excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125) may also be issued.
Ticket demand in Graz is a story of how quickly a club's standing can change. Within a few seasons Sturm went from regular challengers to champions, and the crowds at Liebenau followed the results.
Sturm's crowd has grown with its success. The club averaged around 15,000 for home league games in 2025/26, close to the stadium's capacity, and the ground has gone beyond its listed figure for the biggest derby days. With a compact stadium and a loyal season ticket base, the number of seats left for one-off buyers is smaller than the headline capacity suggests.
Demand still varies sharply by opponent and competition. A Sunday afternoon game against a side from the qualification group and a Thursday night in Europe are very different markets. These are the factors that decide how quickly a fixture fills:
For a standard league fixture there is usually time to compare listings. For the derby, Salzburg's visit and Europa League nights, buying early gives you the widest choice of areas.
By Western European standards, Austrian football is affordable at club prices. For 2026/27 the club's full-price single tickets for league games range from €29 in the standing Nordkurve to €48 in the most central seats, roughly £24 to £40. Europa League prices run from €34 to €62, about £29 to £52, and members pay less than the public.
On the secondary market, prices are set by sellers and follow demand. A standard league game may sit close to the club's own range, while the Graz derby, Salzburg's visit or a Europa League night against a well-known visitor can command a clear premium, particularly when the club has restricted its own sale to members. Away Europa League fixtures are priced by the host club's market, so a trip to Germany or the Netherlands can cost far more than a league game in Graz.
Timing matters too. Prices for high-demand fixtures tend to firm up as supply shrinks, while standard league games can soften late if sellers still hold stock. The ranges below combine the club's published prices with typical market levels, so treat them as a guide to the scale of each type of fixture.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Austrian Bundesliga (standard fixtures) | £25 – £75 |
| Austrian Bundesliga (GAK, Salzburg, Rapid, Austria Wien) | £30 – £110+ |
| Austrian Cup | Varies by round |
| UEFA Europa League | £30 – £150+ |
| Business seats and hospitality | Varies by package |
Prices reflect typical ranges and may change as demand and availability shift. Every listing shows its full price before checkout, so you can compare areas like for like.
For most games, yes. Sturm sells league tickets to the general public once members have had their two-day presale, and anyone can buy online, at a SturmShop or at the matchday box office at sector 8. Membership runs by calendar year, with the adult Black Member category costing €100 and lower prices for teenagers, juniors and families.
The picture changes for the biggest European nights. For the Marseille home game in the 2026/27 Europa League, the club sold only to members and season ticket holders, with no general sale. When a game sells out, the club opens its own resale platform, where season ticket holders can release their seat for that match.
Membership comes in several categories. Alongside the adult Black Member option, the club offers Teen, Junior and Little Blacky memberships at €19.09 and a Family membership at €200, all running by calendar year rather than by season. Members receive the home-game presale and member prices, which is why so many regulars join even if they do not hold a season ticket.
A marketplace gives supporters who do not want to join the club another option, with listings visible as soon as sellers post them. Always check the listing notes for the delivery method, the seating area and any name details before you complete your order, since Sturm prints the buyer's name on tickets bought through its shop.
A Sturm season ticket, the Dauerkarte, covers every home league game at Liebenau and is the surest way to a regular place. The club prices it by sector, from the standing Nordkurve at the lower end to the central seats at the top, and sells a separate season ticket for the Europa League league phase. Season ticket holders who cannot attend can release their seat through the club's resale platform once a game sells out, receiving a share of the season price back.
The club's resale rules are worth knowing. Its resale platform opens only once a match has sold out, and a season ticket holder who releases a seat receives one twenty-second of the league season price, or one fifth of the European season price, for that game. That is one reason a handful of extra seats can appear on the club's own platform close to a sold-out fixture.
The 2026/27 full prices show how clearly Sturm prices by location. Members pay less, and the club offers family sectors at their own rates. The table below sets out the full adult prices by area.
| Sectors | Area | League Dauerkarte | Europa League Season Ticket |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9 to 13 | Nordkurve (standing) | €239 (about £200) | €119 (about £100) |
| 22 | Standing area | €329 (about £275) | €144 (about £120) |
| 23 and 24 | Family sectors | €299 (about £250) | €144 (about £120) |
| 8 and 14 | Seats next to the Nordkurve | €389 (about £330) | €130 (about £110) |
| 7, 15 and 21 | Side seats | €469 (about £395) | €165 (about £140) |
| 2 to 6, 16, 17, 19 and 20 | Central seats | €539 to €559 (about £455 to £470) | €179 to €212 (about £150 to £180) |
Liebenau is a compact ground with the stands close to the pitch, so even the lower-priced areas give a good view. The choice comes down to atmosphere, sightlines and whether you want to stand or sit. Sector numbers matter here, since the club prices and sells by sector rather than by stand name.
| Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nordkurve (sectors 9 to 13) | Atmosphere | Lowest | Standing home end of Sturm's organised supporters; flags, songs and tifos all match |
| Sectors 8 and 14 | Atmosphere with a seat | Lower | Seated sectors either side of the Nordkurve, close to the noise |
| Central sectors (2 to 6, 16 to 20) | Overall view | Upper | The most central sightlines along the touchlines; sector 4 is the most expensive |
| Sectors 7, 15 and 21 | View and value | Mid | Side sectors with a good angle at a lower price than the centre |
| Family sectors (23 and 24) | Families | Lower | Seated area set aside for families, priced below the central sectors |
| Sector 22 | Standing away from the ultras | Lower | A standing area outside the Nordkurve, priced like the family sectors |
The league's format shapes the away calendar. The Austrian Bundesliga has 12 clubs, who play each other twice in a 22-round regular season before the table splits into a championship group and a qualification group of six. Teams then meet the other five in their group twice more, so Sturm can face the same rival three or four times in a season.
Austrian away travel is easier than in many leagues. Distances are short, rail links are good and allocations for visiting supporters are a normal part of every league game. Trips to Vienna, Linz and Salzburg are popular with Sturm's travelling support, and the club sells its allocation through its own channels.
| Topic | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Away allocation | A dedicated away sector at every Bundesliga ground, sold through the visiting club or the host club's shop |
| Away sector at Liebenau | Sector 27 in the south-east corner, segregated from home areas |
| Access requirements | Stadium regulations ban pyrotechnics, weapons, bottles, cans, sticks and umbrellas |
| Biggest domestic trips | Vienna (Rapid and Austria Wien), Salzburg and Linz (LASK), all reachable by rail |
| European away games | Allocations sold through Sturm, usually to members first; check the host club's entry rules |
Graz has direct rail links to Vienna, and the other Bundesliga grounds are within a few hours by train or car. If you travel to an away game as a neutral and sit in a home section, wear plain clothing and follow the host club's guidance.
European away trips follow UEFA's rules, with visiting clubs normally given around 5% of capacity. Sturm sell their share through the club, and members are usually first in line, so neutral buyers heading to a European away game should treat it like any other home-section purchase and read the listing notes carefully.
The right seat depends on the kind of day you are after. A first visit with children and a derby with friends call for different parts of the ground. Because Liebenau is compact, the decision is more about atmosphere and comfort than about distance from the pitch.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Nordkurve (sectors 9 to 13) | The organised supporters lead the singing for 90 minutes; standing only |
| Best view | Central sectors, especially sector 4 | Central sightlines along the halfway line |
| Family-friendly | Family sectors 23 and 24 | Seated sectors set aside for families, at a lower price than the centre |
| Premium experience | Business seats on the east side | Padded seats with business-club access and catering |
| Lower-priced option | Nordkurve or sector 22 | The club's lowest prices, with plenty of atmosphere |
The stadium in the Liebenau district of Graz opened on 9 July 1997 with a 4-0 Sturm win over GAK, a debut that set the tone for the club's best years. Within twelve months Sturm were Austrian champions for the first time, and the new ground hosted the Champions League campaigns that followed. It sits at Ivica-Osim-Platz 1, named after the coach who built those sides.
The ground is owned by the city's stadium company and is shared by Sturm and their city rivals GAK, which makes the Graz derby one of the rare derbies played in a stadium both clubs call home. It has carried several sponsor names over the years, most recently Merkur Arena, and the club now refers to it as Stadion Graz-Liebenau. Capacity is a little over 16,000 for league games and slightly lower under UEFA rules, when some areas must be seated.
The heart of the atmosphere is the Nordkurve, the standing terrace across sectors 9 to 13. Jewels Sturm and Brigata Graz, both founded in 1994, and Grazer Sturmflut, formed in 1996, have stood together there since 2008/09 alongside newer groups under the Kollektiv 1909 banner. The Nordkurve's choreographies on derby days and European nights are a highlight of the season, and the end sings for the full match.
The Nordkurve's friendships stretch well beyond Austria. Sturm's organised supporters have long-standing ties with fans of Karlsruher SC and Werder Bremen in Germany and with Pisa and Carrarese in Italy, and visiting groups from those clubs are a familiar sight on big days in Graz.
Getting there is simple. Tram line 4 stops on the forecourt at Stadion Graz-Liebenau, about 20 minutes from the Hauptbahnhof and around 12 minutes from Jakominiplatz in the centre. Drivers can use the Park and Ride at Murpark or the stadium's underground car park, which charges a matchday fee, but public transport is the easier option.
The stadium's size is a long-running debate in Graz. Sturm had to play their 2024/25 Champions League home games in Klagenfurt because Liebenau did not meet the competition's requirements at the time, and the club's campaign for a bigger, modernised ground has been running since. A city study priced an expansion to around 20,000 seats at about €150 million, with the funding still to be agreed.
Graz itself is Austria's second city, a university town with a UNESCO-listed old town around the Hauptplatz and the Schlossberg. Many visitors spend the day in the centre and take the tram south-east to the stadium an hour or so before kick-off. The old town's beer halls and restaurants are the natural place to start or finish a matchday.
On matchday the rhythm is familiar to any regular. Fans gather on the forecourt and at the bars near the tram stop, the Nordkurve fills early to prepare its displays and the seated sectors fill steadily in the final half-hour. After a win, the singing carries on long after the final whistle.
European football has shaped Sturm's identity since the Osim years, and the club's home European games are back at Liebenau. In 2024/25 Sturm had to stage their Champions League league-phase matches at the Wörthersee Stadion in Klagenfurt, more than 100 km away, because their own ground did not meet the requirements at the time. The return to Graz has been welcomed by supporters who campaigned under the slogan "Nie mehr Klagenfurt".
For 2026/27 Sturm reached the Europa League league phase after dropping out of Champions League qualifying. Their eight league-phase opponents are Rennes, Marseille, Celje and OFI Crete at home, and Bournemouth, Hoffenheim, AZ Alkmaar and Dinamo Zagreb away, with the matches spread between September and late January. The away trips take in Bournemouth's Vitality Stadium on the English south coast and Hoffenheim's ground in Sinsheim, near Heidelberg.
The club's own sales for European home games follow a clear order. Members and Europa League season ticket holders are served first, and for the most attractive ties, such as the visit of Marseille, the club has kept the whole sale within that group with a limit of four tickets per person. Full-price single tickets for European games run from €34 in the Nordkurve to €62 in the central seats.
Most European home games kick off on Thursday evenings, which makes a long weekend in Graz easy to plan, with gates opening around two hours before the start. Check the listing notes for the delivery method and sector, and allow extra time on the tram, which fills quickly before European games.
Sturm's premium seating is centred on the business area on the east side of the ground, across sectors 1 to 7, with business seats, lounge access and catering for corporate and private guests. The club also runs the Grawe Klub 1909 in sector 18. Packages are sold mainly by the season, and single-match availability depends on the fixture.
On the secondary market, premium listings are less common than standard seats, so check each listing carefully for what is included. Lounge access, catering and seat location all vary by package and by fixture.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat (season) | Central padded seat on the east side with business-club access | Varies by package |
| Business seat (single match) | Central seat with lounge entry and catering, subject to availability | Varies by fixture |
| Grawe Klub 1909 | Club area in sector 18 with its own facilities | Varies by package |
| Central sector 4 seats | The club's most expensive standard seats, on the halfway line | From €48 per league game (about £40) |
| European premium seats | Business or central seats for Europa League home games | Varies by fixture |
Buying through 1BoxOffice takes a few minutes. The process is the same whether you want a seat in the Nordkurve for a league game or a Europa League night in Graz.

Confirm the fixture, venue, area, quantity and total price, including any fees, on the summary screen.
Step7
Pay securely
Complete payment through the encrypted checkout. Purchases are protected by the 150% guarantee, applied under the 1BoxOffice terms.
Step8
Track delivery
Follow your order status at any time through track order and watch for delivery updates by email.
Most orders are confirmed by email straight after payment. If anything changes, such as a rescheduled kick-off or a change of venue, you will be told through the same channel. Keep the confirmation handy until your tickets arrive, since it holds your order reference for any query with the support team.
Some home games fill far faster than others. If one of these is on your list, start looking as soon as the date is confirmed. League kick-off times are usually set a few weeks ahead for television, so a weekend date can still shift between Friday and Sunday.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Sturm Graz vs GAK | The Graz derby, played in a shared stadium with both sets of fans in the ground |
| Sturm Graz vs Red Bull Salzburg | A recent title rivalry with an edge that goes beyond football |
| Sturm Graz vs Rapid Wien | A large travelling following and two recent cup finals between the clubs |
| Europa League home nights | Club sales for the biggest ties have been limited to members and season ticket holders |
| Championship-group home games | Late-season games that can decide the title or the European places |
Each listing states its delivery method before you pay. Sturm issues its own tickets as print-at-home QR codes or digital tickets, and European away fixtures follow the host club's system.
Tickets bought through the club carry the buyer's name and a QR code, and the club can reprint a lost ticket for the named buyer. Read the listing notes to see how a seller will transfer your seat and whether any name details apply.
Delivery timing varies by fixture, and tickets for high-demand games are often released close to kick-off. Check the listing notes and your email in the final days.
Entry at Liebenau is quick for most games, but security is tighter for the derby and European nights. Allow time for searches and queues at the turnstiles, and use the entrance shown for your sector on the ticket.
For European evening games the gates have opened two hours before kick-off. Arriving 45 to 60 minutes early avoids the longest queues and gives you time to see the Nordkurve's build-up. Tram 4 gets busy in the final half-hour, so travel a little earlier than you think you need to.
Tickets bought through the club carry the buyer's name, and lost tickets bought in your own name can be reprinted. Carry photo ID in case stewards ask for it, especially on derby and European nights. Digital tickets must be shown from a working phone.
Travel light. The stadium regulations ban pyrotechnics, weapons, bottles, cans, sticks and umbrellas, and large bags slow the security search. Bring only what you need and check the club's matchday information before big games.

Sturm's story is one of long patience followed by two golden eras. A club from Austria's second city, it spent most of the twentieth century in the shadow of the Vienna clubs before Ivica Osim and, two decades later, Christian Ilzer turned it into a champion.
Sturm was founded in the Augarten, a park beside the River Mur, and for much of the century it was a respected regional force rather than a national one. The Graz derby with GAK was the focal point of the season, and the Vienna clubs, with their larger crowds and budgets, dominated the league.
The club produced fine players in those years. Gernot Jurtin scored 147 goals for Sturm and topped the league's scoring chart in 1980/81 while defenders such as Günther Neukirchner, who went on to make 520 appearances, gave the side its backbone. Yet by the early 1990s Sturm had won neither the league nor the cup, a gap that the next coach would close quickly.
Osim, the former Yugoslavia coach, arrived in 1994 and built a team around the attacking trio of Mario Haas, Ivica Vastić and Hannes Reinmayr, known in Graz as the magic triangle. The 1997/98 title was won seven rounds early with 81 points and a 19-point margin, and the side retained it a year later while also winning the cup.
Europe followed. Sturm reached the Champions League group stage three seasons running from 1998, and in 2000/01 they won a group containing Galatasaray, Rangers and Monaco to reach the second group stage. Vastić scored 32 league goals in 1999/2000, and in 2009 Osim was voted coach of the century.
The years after Osim's departure were hard. In October 2006 the club filed for bankruptcy, and only a settlement with creditors in January 2007 saved it. With academy graduates such as Jakob Jantscher breaking into the team, Sturm survived a 13-point deduction to stay in the top flight.
Franco Foda rebuilt the side, winning the cup in 2010 and the league in 2011, the club's first title for twelve years. Stefan Hierländer's extra-time winner against Salzburg in the 2018 cup final brought another trophy and set the stage for the club's next great era.
Ilzer's sides were known for their intensity and for developing players the club could sell on, with Højlund the most famous example. Sturm finished second twice before beating Rapid in the 2023 cup final, and in 2023/24 they won the cup again, 2-1 against Rapid, before clinching the title with a 2-0 win over Austria Klagenfurt on the final day. It was Sturm's first championship since 2011 and the first by any club other than Salzburg since 2013.
Ilzer left for Hoffenheim in November 2024 and Jürgen Säumel took over, guiding the team to a second straight title in 2025 with a 1-1 draw against WAC on the final day. That season Sturm played in the new Champions League league phase, staging their home games in Klagenfurt. Fabio Ingolitsch, formerly of Altach, took charge at the start of 2026.
The Nordkurve's banners and the club's record books return to the same names. These are the figures Sturm supporters still name first.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ivica Osim | Head coach | Built the side that won Sturm's first league titles and took them into the Champions League. The square outside the stadium now carries his name. | Coach 1994 to 2002; two league titles and three cups |
| Mario Haas | Forward | The record holder for both appearances and goals, and the longest-serving member of the magic triangle. He spent the bulk of his career at Sturm and remains the benchmark for every forward. | Club records: 550 appearances and 179 goals |
| Ivica Vastić | Attacking midfielder | The creative heart of Osim's team and a prolific scorer from midfield. His 1999/2000 season was one of the standout campaigns of the Osim era. | League top scorer 1999/2000 with 32 goals |
| Hannes Reinmayr | Midfielder | The third member of the magic triangle, linking play between Vastić and Haas. He was a key creative presence in the 1998 title side. | Austrian champion 1998 |
| Günther Neukirchner | Defender | A long-serving defender and a fixture through the club's rise. Only Haas has played more games for Sturm. | 520 appearances, second on the all-time list |
| Gernot Jurtin | Striker | A goalscorer whose finishing carried the side in the years before the first titles. He remains one of the club's top scorers. | 147 goals; league top scorer 1980/81 with 21 |
| Stefan Hierländer | Midfielder | A long-serving midfielder in the modern side. His goal settled the 2018 cup final against Salzburg. | Extra-time winner in the 2018 cup final |
| Christian Ilzer | Head coach | Turned Sturm into the side that finally ended Salzburg's grip on the title. His teams combined intensity with a sharp eye for talent in the transfer market. | Coach 2020 to 2024; league title and two cups |
Sturm's trophy count has grown sharply since the mid-1990s. Every one of their major honours has come since 1996, and the club has added a league title or cup in most seasons since 2023.
Two of those seasons brought doubles. Osim's side won the league and cup together in 1999, and Ilzer's repeated the feat in 2024, beating Rapid in the cup final weeks before clinching the title. The Supercup wins all came in the Osim era, when the competition paired the league champions with the cup winners at the start of each season.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Austrian Bundesliga | 5 (1998, 1999, 2011, 2024, 2025) |
| Austrian Cup | 7 (1996, 1997, 1999, 2010, 2018, 2023, 2024) |
| Austrian Supercup | 3 (1996, 1998, 1999) |
Sturm's rivalries are shaped by their city and by the balance of power in Austrian football. The derby is about Graz itself, while the games against Vienna and Salzburg are about who rules the country.
The Graz derby has been played more than two hundred times, and it is unusual in modern football because both clubs now play at the same stadium. GAK were Sturm's equals for long stretches of the twentieth century and won their own league title in 2004, before financial collapse sent them down the divisions. Their return to the Bundesliga has restored the derby as the biggest date in the city's football calendar.
Sharing a stadium gives the fixture a character of its own. Both clubs know every corner of the ground, and on derby day Sturm's black and white faces GAK's red and white across the same stands each side calls home for the rest of the season.
For ticket buyers this is the hardest league fixture to secure. Both sets of supporters are in the ground, the atmosphere is intense and seats in the central sectors go quickly.
Many Sturm supporters dislike the Red Bull project that replaced the old Austria Salzburg club in 2005. The sporting rivalry has caught up with the cultural one in recent seasons, with Sturm beating Salzburg in the 2018 cup final and ending their ten-year run of titles in 2024.
Rapid's visits bring a large travelling following from Vienna and one of the noisiest away ends of the season. Sturm beat them in the 2023 and 2024 cup finals, adding fresh history to a long-standing rivalry between Graz and the capital.
Austria Wien complete the trio of traditional powers that Sturm measure themselves against. The Vienna club's long list of titles stands in contrast to Sturm's late arrival as champions, and their visits to Graz draw a solid travelling support and a lively crowd.
Galatasaray were in Sturm's 2000/01 Champions League group, and the Graz side beat them 3-0 at home and drew 2-2 in Istanbul on the way to topping the group. Those results remain among the proudest in the club's European history.
Rangers were in the same group, and Sturm's 2-0 home win over the Scottish champions was one of the nights that defined the Osim era. A heavy defeat at Ibrox in the return showed how fine the margins were at that level, but Sturm still finished above them.
The years since 2021 have been the most consistent in the club's history. Three different head coaches have led the side in that time, yet Sturm have finished in the top two every season.
The recent past explains why demand at Liebenau is so strong. Sturm have finished first or second in every one of the last five seasons and reached the Champions League league phase for the first time in the new format.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Christian Ilzer's side finished second, behind Salzburg. They went out of the cup in the third round. In Europe they played in the Europa League group stage and finished fourth. |
| 2022/23 | Sturm were runners-up again and won the Austrian Cup, beating Rapid Wien 2-0 in the final. They fell in Champions League qualifying and then finished fourth in their Europa League group. |
| 2023/24 | Sturm won the league and cup double, beating Rapid 2-1 in the cup final and Austria Klagenfurt 2-0 on the final day of the league. It ended Salzburg's run of ten straight titles. In Europe they reached the Conference League round of 16. |
| 2024/25 | Ilzer left for Hoffenheim in November and Jürgen Säumel took over, retaining the title with a draw against WAC on the final day. Sturm played in the Champions League league phase, staging home games in Klagenfurt. They reached the cup quarter-finals. |
| 2025/26 | Sturm topped the regular season but finished second in the championship group, behind champions LASK. They went out of the cup in the quarter-finals against Altach. In Europe they dropped from Champions League qualifying into the Europa League league phase. |
Squads change every transfer window, but the record book does not. These are the benchmarks every Sturm player is measured against.
Several of those records date from the Osim years, when Sturm went from a club without a league title to one that topped a Champions League group in the space of six seasons. Haas, Vastić and Reinmayr all made their names in that side, and the club's first two league titles and three of its cups came under the same coach.
Mario Haas holds both of the club's main individual records, and his totals look safe for a long time. The team records tell the story of two golden eras, under Osim in the late 1990s and under Ilzer in the 2020s.
| Record | Holder | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Most appearances | Mario Haas | 550 |
| All-time top scorer | Mario Haas | 179 goals |
| Second-most appearances | Günther Neukirchner | 520 |
| Most league goals in a season | Ivica Vastić, 1999/2000 | 32 |
