Sturm Graz

Sturm Graz were founded in 1909 and play their home games at Merkur-Arena in Austria.

Founded in 1909, the dark knights known as Sturm Graz grace their home turf at the Merkur-Arena, a gem nestled firmly within Austria's verdant emerald landscape. Bereft of pomp and circumstance but pleasantly sincere, the team possess an individuality that can be as cutting as a gale force wind, as potent as a well-aged whisky.

The team boasts a complement of 22 players, youthful in nature averaging a spritely age of 23. This spirited young band bring a gallant vitality to every endeavour, their youthful exuberance an antidote to the weary ennui that can afflict the great game.

Embracing the spirit of competition, Sturm Graz have thrown themselves zealously into the throes of no fewer than four contests this season. Stood stalwart and undefeated, they currently reside in the familiar covetous spot of first place in the Bundesliga, their exploits evoking the pursuits of the eager fox. In the ÖFB Cup, they've made an admirable journey to the third round, demonstrating a tenacity and fearlessness befitting journeymen of old. Their thirst for success has also seen them venture into the fiery crucible of the Champions League qualifiers where they've inched their way into the play-offs. Finally, their determination has propelled them into the league phase of the Europa League, the redoubtable gladiators undeterred by the looming shadows of some of Europe's footballing giants.
