First Vienna FC is an Austrian football club based in the Döbling district of Vienna. Established on 22 August 1894, it is the country's oldest team and has played a notable role in the history of the game there. It is familiarly known to Austrians by the English name Vienna.
Due to the insolvency of the main sponsor Care-Energy, Vienna was declared bankrupt in 2017.[1][2] While bankruptcy was averted, a championship title in the Regionalliga Ost in the same year was withheld.[3] Promotion was denied and it got worse, with Vienna being transferred to the fifth division by court order in the following season.[4]
