The heroine with gloves

If there is a figure that embodies this victory, it is Marta Alemany. The Spanish goalkeeper had a spectacular night. But one moment changed everything.

Sometimes a stop changes everything. Sometimes a cry says it all. Querétaro Femenil believes again.

Austria secures its ticket to the 2026 World Cup with a consolidated team

Austria qualified for the 2026 World Cup after leading a difficult group at Euro 2024 and maintaining its competitive base.

Road to the 2026 World Cup

Austria joins the list of teams qualified for the 2026 World Cup. It is part of UEFA Group J, under the technical direction of Ralf Rangnick and with David Alaba as captain. The governing federation is the Österreichischer Fußball-Bund (ÖFB).

The team is ranked 24th in the FIFA ranking (updated as of April 1, 2026). Its best historical placement was 10th place between March and June 2016; the worst, 105th in July 2008.

Signs of recent competitiveness

At Euro 2024, Austria finished first in its group, beating France and the Netherlands. They lost in the round of 16 against Türkiye 2-1. That performance demonstrated solidity even against European powers.

Roster and preparation

For the World Cup, Austria called up 26 players. The group will play two previous friendlies: against Tunisia on June 1, 2026 and against Guatemala on June 10, 2026. The match and goal statistics are updated as of March 31, after the duel against South Korea.

Marko Arnautovic leads two categories: he is the player with the most appearances (132) and the team’s top scorer (47 goals).

Continuity and experience

Austria has four World Cup participations, debuting in 2008. However, its recent momentum comes from consecutive qualifications for the European Championship (2016, 2020, 2024) and advancing to the knockout rounds. Under the command of Rangnick and with Alaba as a reference, the team reaches 2026 with a solid record in high competition, including the round of 16 and group leadership in Euro 2024. The preparation outlined with two friendlies in June reinforces its commitment to arrive in optimal conditions.
