SV Austria Salzburg
First found in 1933 in Salzburg Austria, this football club has Austrian Bundesliga twice to its name and was the first Austrian club to play in the Champions League.

The loyal fans then protested and later re-found the club, thus restoring the original name. The extra-passionate Ultras Salzburg played a significant role in this restoration of name and honor.
