Wikipedia - Austrian Regionalliga West

The Regionalliga West (German for 'Regional League West') is the third tier of the Austrian football league system in the states of Salzburg, Tyrol (excluding East Tyrol) and Vorarlberg. It is one of three Regionalligen at this level, together with the Austrian Regionalliga East and the Austrian Regionalliga Central.

History

Early years

Until the end of the 1973–74 season the Austrian Regionalligen, including the West section which was formed in 1960, operated as the second tier of the national pyramid, with the champions promoted directly to the top flight. A major restructuring in 1974–75 created ten-club First and Second Bundesligen and dissolved the Regionalliga West and Central. Promotion to the Second Bundesliga was thereafter decided by play-offs between the Landesliga champions of Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg (and other provinces), while the Regionalliga East champion retained direct promotion. In 1977–78, Salzburg and Tyrol introduced the Alpenliga as an intermediate third tier above their Landesligas.

The Regionalliga West, this time explicitly including Vorarlberg, was reinstated as a third-tier competition in 1980–81. In contrast, the Regionalliga East was not contested from 1980–81 to 1984–85 and only resumed in 1985–86, while the Regionalliga Central did not reappear until 1994–95. Up to and including 1995–96, the West and East champions generally enjoyed direct promotion to the Second Division, whereas in the Central area promotion was determined through play-offs among the states of Upper Austria, Carinthia (with East Tyrol) and Styria.

Between the 1996–97 and 2003–04 seasons, the three Regionalliga champions contested promotion/relegation play-offs with the second-last club of the First League for two Second Division places. With the planned expansion of the First League to 12 clubs from the 2005–06 season, direct promotion for Regionalliga champions was restored, although licensing issues delayed the full effect until the following season. In the 2009–10 season, promotion/relegation play-offs were reintroduced with the ninth-placed First League side due to the league's reduction to ten clubs in the 2010–11 campaing. From 2014–15 on, the system changed again to provide one direct promotion place and a play-off for a second berth.

Reform and suspension

Ahead of the 2019–20 season, Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg abandoned the joint Westliga in favour of three provincial autumn competitions: Regionalliga Salzburg, Regionalliga Tirol and Eliteliga Vorarlberg, followed by a spring "Eliteliga" promotion play-off for access to the Second League. The reform was primarily intended to reduce travel costs.

Return of Regionalliga West

In February 2022, the regional associations and the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) confirmed that the traditional Regionalliga West would be reinstated from the 2023–24 season, reuniting Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg after the interim Eliteliga format and pandemic-affected campaigns.

Planned restructuring

Further reform approved by the ÖFB envisages four Regionalligen from 2026–27. Under this model the Regionalliga West will comprise clubs from Tyrol and Vorarlberg, while Salzburg is to combine with Upper Austria in a northern group. The remaining provinces will be organised into south and east groupings, with regionalised autumn phases and spring play-offs designed to control costs and travel.

The Austria Regionalliga West is a prominent regional soccer league serving as a key tier within Austria's football league system. It features competitive clubs from the western regions of Austria, including Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Salzburg. The league operates as a semi-professional competition, providing a vital platform for local talent to develop and showcase their skills. Teams in the Regionalliga West compete annually for promotion to higher divisions and aim to achieve success within their regional context. Known for passionate local support and a vibrant football culture, the Austria Regionalliga West plays a crucial role in fostering regional pride and nurturing future stars of Austrian football.
