The Austrian Bundesliga, founded in 1911, is the top professional soccer league in Austria. It has a rich history, with the league being suspended during both World Wars. Rapid Vienna and Austria Vienna are the most successful teams in the league, having won the title numerous times. The league consists of 12 teams, with each team playing a total of 22 matches in a season. An interesting fact about the Austrian Bundesliga is that it was the first league in Europe to introduce the concept of a winter break, allowing players and teams to rest and recuperate during the harsh winter months.
