TSV Hartberg
Turn- und Sportverein Hartberg (officially known as TSV Egger Glas Hartberg for sponsorship reasons) is an Austrian professional football club based in Hartberg, Styria. Founded in 1946, the club plays in the Austrian Bundesliga, the highest level of the Austrian football league system.
Hartberg were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2018 and have since established themselves in the top flight. In the 2019–20 season, they qualified for European competition for the first time, earning a place in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League qualifiers.
The club plays its home matches at the Profertil Arena Hartberg, a 4,500-capacity stadium, and traditionally wears blue and white.
TSV Hartberg was established on 29 April 1946. After decades in the lower Styrian leagues, the club achieved promotion to the Styrian Landesliga in 1978, supported by sponsor Sparkasse Hartberg.
Throughout the 1980s, Hartberg gained a reputation as a strong cup competitor, often defeating higher-tier teams. In the 1986–87 Austrian Cup, the club reached the round of 16, notably eliminating Wiener Sport-Club. That team featured Hans Krankl, one of Austria's most prominent footballers, a former European Golden Shoe winner and star of Barcelona and the national team. In 1987–88, Hartberg won the Landesliga for the first time but failed to secure promotion after finishing second in the playoffs.
The club's most notable cup performance came in 1988–89, reaching the Austrian Cup quarter-finals as a fourth-tier side. Victories included top-flight SK Austria Klagenfurt and second-tier SV Spittal/Drau, before losing on penalties to SV Austria Salzburg after a 3–3 draw.
In 1989–90, Hartberg won the Landesliga again but was once more unsuccessful in the promotion playoffs. After several mid-table seasons, the club won the league a third time in 1994–95, earning promotion to the Regionalliga Mitte (third tier). That same season, Hartberg reached the Austrian Cup semi-finals, defeating three higher-division clubs before a 1–0 loss to DSV Leoben.
The following season, 1995–96, Hartberg won the Regionalliga Mitte and secured promotion to the Second Division (then known as the 2. Division). However, the club was relegated in 1997–98 following a league restructuring, despite avoiding relegation under the existing format. In 1998–99, Hartberg again won the Regionalliga Mitte but failed to return to the second tier after losing a two-legged promotion playoff to WSG Wattens.
