The Austria national futsal team is controlled by the Austrian Football Association, the governing body of futsal in Austria, and represents the country in international futsal competitions.

History

With Austria a relative latecomer to the sport, the ÖFB Futsal League was first played for the 2010/11 season with Austrian clubs competing in the UEFA Futsal Champions League since the 2010–11 edition. In April 2018, the Austrian Football Association voted unanimously to form a national team for the first time.[4] The association organized its first training camp in September 2018 to form the foundation of the team and prepare to play its first international match.[5] The country played its first-ever international futsal match on 12 April 2019, a friendly against Germany. Adilaid Dizdarevic scored Austria's first-ever goal in the eventual 2–2 draw.[6][7]

The team participated in qualifying for the UEFA Futsal Euro 2022, marking the first time the nation had entered the competition.[8] The team entered qualification again for the next edition of the tournament.[9] Despite winning its opening match against Bulgaria, the country again failed to qualify.[10][11]
