Ticket information for our Youth League comeback!

Austria Vienna welcomes Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa to the Austria Academy for their comeback in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday, 22 October at 3:30 p.m. Protected ticket sales will start on Wednesday, 8 October at 12:00 p.m. online at fak.at/tickets and in the fan shop. The Young Violets are counting on plenty of support from the stands.

After their last match in the UEFA Youth League on 26 February 2014 against Benfica Lisbon, Austria are returning to international youth competition after more than eleven years and will be playing a match on home soil for the first time. Due to the high wear and tear on the pitch and a large number of matches at the Generali Arena during this period, the match will be played at the Austria Academy.

Ticket sales in three phases

Our loyal season ticket holders and members will once again be rewarded for the young Violets' European comeback. For this reason, protected sales will take place in the following three phases:

• Phase 1: Wednesday to Thursday 12:00 noon (8 to 10 October) – Season ticket holders can purchase up to two tickets
• Phase 2: Friday to Sunday 12:00 noon (11 to 12 October) – Season ticket holders and now also members can purchase up to two tickets
• Phase 3: From Monday 12:00 noon (13 October) – general sale, provided tickets are still available.

A total of 420 seats and 164 standing places are available for the home game at the Austria Academy, which will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the game. To secure a seat, it is therefore advisable to arrive early at Laaer-Berg-Straße 143.

Young Violets in the 2025/26 UEFA Youth League

As champions of the 2024/25 ÖFB Youth League, the Violets will also compete in the UEFA Youth League in the so-called Champions Path, which runs over three rounds. The Violets will start the tournament on 22 October with a home game at the Austria Academy.

If they advance, Max Uhlig's team will face the winner of the FC Nantes vs. Sabah FK match. While Sabah won the championship in Azerbaijan, Nantes moved up as runners-up because Paris Saint-Germain had already qualified for the league phase.

The ten remaining clubs will then be grouped together with the 22 best clubs from the league phase. In the round of 32, consisting of only one match, the clubs in places 1 to 6 will face those in places 17 to 22. The clubs in places 7 to 16 will compete against the ten clubs remaining from the Champions Path. This will be followed by an open draw until the final.
