Austrian Football: The Vienna Derby, Fight Club Football, & Tyrollean Alps – The Global Game Ep.03

Описание: This episode of The Global Game brings us to Austria—a country whose history is as rich as its landscapes. Austria once led European football’s golden age with its “Wunderteam,” only to have it all cut short by the German annexation before World War II. Despite that abrupt setback, Austrian fans have kept their passion alive.

Join me as I explore Salzburg’s stunning streets, team up with the crew at @ISFAstreet on the legendary Kings of Klessheim court, and witness the intensity of the Vienna Derby—one of Europe’s oldest rivalries. Then I head to the Tyrolean Alps, where centuries-old customs thrive, from brewing and baking to medieval carnival celebrations. Austria’s football runs deep—a story of resilience, tradition, and boundless community spirit, both on and off the pitch.
