"EVEN THE PARLIAMENT INTERRUPTED ITS SESSION..."

Creating Local and National Identity in Viennese Football

There is no land like Austria, where up until the 1940s premier league football was limited to one city, Vienna. But even up until the 1960s, Austrian football was first and foremost Viennese soccer—and today it is still characterized by resentments between Vienna and the rest of the country. This article discusses the changes from the 1930s—when football was one of some few moments of Viennese identity—to the 1950s—when sports (not primarily football) was a main part of creating an Austrian identity—until today—when the globalization of football begins to burst open the specific Viennese situation.
