History

edit
 
Historical chart of league performance of Blau-Weiß Linz and their predecessor

In 1997, FC Blau-Weiß Linz was founded, which adopted the traditions of the defunct club FC Linz, which due to financial difficulties had to finally dissolve, by merger with their long-time rivals LASK Linz.

On 4 June 2023, Blau Weiß Linz secured the title of Austrian 2. Liga in 2022–23 after defeating Sturm Graz II 2–1 on final matchday 30 and promotion to Austrian Bundesliga for the first time in history from next 2023–24 season. (They also secured the title back in 2020–21, but promotion was denied as they did not apply for a Bundesliga license.)

Stadium

edit

FC Blau-Weiß Linz played their home matches at Linzer Stadion, but they have plans to develop their own stadium, Hofmann Personal Stadion, to accommodate nearly 5,000 people by 2023.[1]
