ÖFB Presents Campus and New Logo in Vienna

ÖFB Supervisory Board Chairman Josef Pröll called the project the largest in the 121-year history of the association and a "milestone for the future." He expects it to provide impulses for professionalism and progress. On 55,000 square meters, there are three grass pitches, an artificial turf pitch, and a mini-stadium with almost 1,000 seats. All pitches have under-soil heating.
ÖFB Campus unites "everything under one roof"
Additionally, there are fitness and locker room facilities as well as accommodation options for players. Furthermore, next year the VAR center of the Bundesliga will move from Vienna-Meidling to Seestadt. The total cost of the project amounts to around 75 million euros. The federal government and the city of Vienna each contribute 23.14 million euros, with the rest coming from the ÖFB. An annual sum of one million euros has been budgeted for operating costs, which should be undercut if possible. ÖFB Campus Manager Alexander Gruber emphasized that, together with the general contractor Strabag, they managed to stay within the time and financial plan during construction.
Accordingly, Pröll was proud at the presentation. "Not only the administration, but all teams will have their home here, from the youth to the A-team. The coach training modules and the referee system will be here, all united under one roof," announced the former Vice Chancellor. Pröll also stated: "It should be a place of encounter for Austrian football. We want to think better here, learn better together, and collaborate better than perhaps was the case in the past."
They also want to "bring in science," explained the ÖFB chief. "We want to open up to start-ups and clubs that want to rent space here. Other sports can also temporarily find their home here." The campus should "become a sports hub for all of Austria" and is "a house of openness, not a snail shell." It fits that in the summer of 2026, the Frisbee U17 European Championship and the Special Olympics National Championship with international participation will take place on the campus, with many more events likely to follow. According to Pröll, there are still "one or two teething problems" to be cured in the new ÖFB home, with the official opening planned for the first quarter of 2026. Whether or when the men's A-team will visit here is open.
New ÖFB Logo Presented
However, a changed ÖFB external appearance with a new logo, which was also presented on Wednesday and according to the association "combines the tradition of Austrian football and the red-white-red identity," is certain. The new logo is already visible on the campus and on the ÖFB website and will also adorn merchandising products in the future. A new crest is also in the works but will probably not be used before the 2026 World Cup, reported Pröll.
Before moving to Aspern, the ÖFB was based at the Happel Stadium. Regarding the return of office facilities in the Prater, there are apparently differences with the city of Vienna, but Pröll relativized: "The question of subsequent use will not divide us, but it is on the table."
