ÖFB-Cup: Altach celebrates Kanters victory against Dornbirn-a dream start!

Donaufeld, Österreich - The anticipation for the ÖFB Cup is large in Austria. In just more than five weeks, from July 25th to 27th, the ball will roll in the first round. With a total of seven Ländle clubs, including the Bundesliga club SCR Altach, it will be exciting to see how the local teams will beat. It will not only be interesting whether the clubs can make their last cup defeat forgotten, but also how they exist against the sometimes unknown opponents of the lower leagues.

was a more mixed year for the teams from Vorarlberg in the ÖFB Cup. Only SW Bregenz and Austria Lustenau made the leap into the second round, while Altach failed against Donaufeld last year. In a current statement, neo-sports coordinator Eric Orie left no doubt that the game against SV Hirschwang from the 2nd Landesliga Ost for Altach is a must. "We have to win the game," says Orie.

The games of the first round

The first encounters of the cup promise some interesting duels. Here are the pairings of the first round at a glance:

• SV Hirschwang - SCR Altach
• UVB Vöcklamarkt - SW Bregenz
• SV Kuchl - Austria Lustenau
• FC Dornbirn - Gak
• SVG Reichenau - VfB Hohenems
• FC Pinzgau - SC Röthis
• FC Lauterach - SC Schwaz

The match between FC Dornbirn and the GAK, the hardest, but also the most attractive lot, becomes particularly exciting. The Dornbirn team will do everything possible to put a leg to the favorite.

The starting point of the Vorarlberger

The starting position looks different for the remaining Vorarlberg teams. While the ambitious second division club Bregenz and Lustenau have to compete against regional leagues, the western leagers such as Hohenems, Lauterach and Röthis have more feasible tasks. Hohenems meets Reichenau, and Lauterach has to compete against SC Schwaz. Only Röthis is challenged against FC Pinzgau.

On June 20, 2025, the question remains whether the Ländle clubs have learned from last year's disillusionment. A good hand is in demand, and maybe the ÖFB Cup will conjure up one or the other football dream back on the pitch. SCR Altach could almost experience the challenge - the positive voices in the team can be heard clearly, and the return of Andreas Lienhart and Jan Zwischenbrugger after injury breaks give the team an additional buoyancy.

The adventure ÖFB-Cup is just around the corner, and Austrian football fans can look forward to exciting games. It is to be hoped that the Vorarlberg teams want to go higher than last year and one or the other soccer gnome from the lower league.
