The new Generali Arena

A win for Austria Wien

Originally it was the České srdce ground, built in 1925 by what was then the first-division Vienna football club SK Slovan, and in 1973 it became home to FK Austria Wien – thus Generali Arena looks back not only on a long football tradition but also on a history of expansion and new buildings. The stadium’s recent renovation, carried out from 2016 to 2018, represents a major step forward, including in terms of sustainability.
