History
The origins of the club go back to the formation of SK Admira Vienna in 1905. Between 1926 and 1939 this team captured seven Austrian national championship titles, as well as three Austrian Cups. Austrian teams were among the best in continental Europe at this time and several Admira players were part of the powerful national side commonly known as the "Miracle Team".
After the Anschluss that united Germany and Austria in 1938 Admira played for several seasons in the Gauliga Ostmark, one of the top flight regional leagues created through the reorganization of German football under the Third Reich. The club contested Germany's national final in 1939, losing 0:9 to Schalke 04, which was on its way to becoming the dominant side in German football of the era. In the postwar period honours were harder to come by as the team earned only one additional national title, in 1966, alongside three more Austrian Cups.
In 1971 Admira merged with Wacker Wien. Formed in 1908 Wacker played in the country's first division continuously from 1914 to 1961, winning the Austrian championship in 1947. As Admira Wacker this combined side won the Austrian Super Cup in 1989. A combined total of sixteen titles marks today's club as the fourth most successful in the history of Austrian football.
The other half of the current club was formed as SVg Mödling on 11 August 1911 and re-named VfB Mödling in 1992.
Recent times
Following the 2005-2006 season, the team was relegated from the first division T-Mobile Bundesliga to the second tier Erste Division.
Since Iranian Majid Pishyar bought the club in December 2004 the number of Iranians playing for the club has dramatically increased. In addition, Heshmat Mohajerani, a well known Iranian football manager became part of the club's executive committee.
In the summer of 2008 Richard Trenkwalder became President of FC Admira Wacker Mödling. The team is now amateur reserve team Trenkwalder Admira (after merging with SK Schwadorf) and plays in the Austrian 2. Landesliga.
