About Austria
Snapshot of Austria's 2026 squad and outlook.
Austria's return to the World Cup in 2026 ends a 28-year absence since France 1998 and represents the fruition of Ralf Rangnick's high-energy, pressing-based rebuild of Austrian football. Under the innovative German coach, Austria have transformed into one of Europe's most dynamic sides, playing fast, aggressive football that has made them genuinely difficult to play against. David Alaba - despite serious injury concerns - and the relentless Marcel Sabitzer provide quality and leadership in a balanced squad. Group J pits Austria against defending champions Argentina, Algeria, and Jordan - a group where they must beat the two African and Asian representatives to advance for the first time since 1998.
