The only thing missing from the FAC is the trainer’s license

Of the twelve Bundesliga clubs, only the financially troubled Viennese received Austria Conditions. The Purples must provide “updated audited future financial information.” The second division leaders St. Pölten and Admira received the same requirement in the event of promotion; the FAC was not allowed to move up for personnel reasons and Bregenz for infrastructural reasons.

However, the Lower Austrians would have to come first or second, but are currently sixth in the table, nine points behind second place.
