Austria returned to the World Cup in 2026 after a 28-year absence, having last appeared at the 1998 tournament in France. Coached by Ralf Rangnick, the team topped its UEFA qualifying group ahead of France and the Netherlands en route to a strong showing at Euro 2024, where it also finished first in its group.
