Austria

Ranked 24th globally, Austria prepares for the 2024 Euros under the guidance of manager Ralf Rangnick, placing their trust in the versatility of Real Madrid's influential figure, David Alaba. Alaba not only captains the team but also stands as their key player. While Austria's football history lacks notable trophies, their recent Euro participations, including an upcoming fourth in 2024, signal a resurgence in their tournament presence. Despite a third-place finish in the 1954 World Cup, Austria faces the challenge of transcending historical achievements to secure contemporary success. With Alaba's diverse skill set and Rangnick's direction, Austria aims to rewrite their footballing story, leveraging past experiences to carve a more impactful and triumphant journey in this Euros campaign.
