FC Blau-Weiss Linz or BW Linz are an Austrian association football club playing in the Austrian Football Bundesliga, the top-tier of Austrian Football.
History
[edit]
In 1997, FC Blau-Weiss Linz was founded, which adopted the traditions of the defunct club FC Linz, which due to financial difficulties had to finally dissolve, by merger with their long-time rivals LASK Linz.
On 4 June 2023, Blau Weiss Linz secured the title of Austrian 2. Liga in 2022–23 after defeating Sturm Graz II 2–1 on final matchday 30 and promotion to Austrian Bundesliga for the first time in history from next 2023–24 season. (They also secured the title back in 2020–21, but promotion was denied as they did not apply for a Bundesliga license.)
Stadium
[edit]FC Blau-Weiss Linz played their home matches at Linzer Stadion, but they have plans to develop their own stadium, Hofmann Personal Stadion, to accommodate nearly 5,000 people by 2023.[1]
