FC Red Bull was founded on September 13, 1933 under the name Austria, as a result of the merger of the Gert and Rapid clubs ^[2] . In 1950, the club was disbanded, but revived in the same year. In 1953, he reached the highest league of Austria ^[3] and finished in ninth place among 14 teams, the team was separated from the relegation zone by five points ^[4] . Erich Probst became the first team player in the history of the club, having played the last of his 19 matches for the Austrian team on March 27, 1960 ^[5] . Adolf Macek, who first appeared in the national team on October 9, 1965, became the first player from Salzburg to take part in the game of the country's main team ^[6] .

For the first time, Austria was ranked second in the Austrian Championship in the 1970–71 season, earning 43 points, which was one point less than Wacker ^[7] . The first participation in European competitions ended in defeat of the Romanian club UTA with a score of 5-4, despite the home win 3-1 ^[8] . In 1974, the team reached the Austrian Cup final for the first time, in which she lost to Austria 1-2 after a home draw 1-1 ^[9] .

In 1978, the name of the club was officially changed to "Casino SV". In 1994, the team participated in the first and currently only final of the European tournament - the UEFA Cup , where they lost both matches to Inter with a score of 0-1 ^[10] . In the same year, Austria won the championship, beating two points on the team mates from Vienna ^[11] , and in the next season defended the title, Sturm remained in second place in terms of goal difference ^[12] . In the 1995-96 season, Austria dropped to eighth place, one position separated it from the knockout tournament ^[13] , but a year later it won the third championship in history, winning the Rapid Vienna three points ^[14] .

For the first time, in 1994, participating in the Champions League , the team defeated Maccabi with a total score of 5-2 and made it to the group stage, hitting group D with the then current title holders of Milan , the future winner of Ajax and AEK , Austrians ranked third in the group.

In 2003, the team moved to the current stadium ^[2] .

On April 6, 2005, Austria football club was bought by Red Bull . At the same time, it was announced that a new club was being created, without a history, with a new name, emblem and flowers corresponding to the Red Bull beverage brand. However, the mention of the fact that the club was founded in 2005, was removed from the club's website on the orders of the Austrian Football Association . The new owners removed the purple color from the club's emblem, the team began to play in red and white, which worried the fans ^[15] . Small wings form a new club badge placed on T-shirts, in accordance with the slogan "Red Bull" inspires. Full rebuild reminded what happened to the teams of Formula 1 " Red Bull " and " Toro Rosso ". Nevertheless, the company does not always follow this logic, as can be seen from the example of the New York Red Bulls and the use of its history.

This situation led to the division of the fans into two groups: “red-white-purple”, who saw in “Red Bull” the followers of the traditions of “Austriya”, and “purple-white”, who wanted to keep the old traditions and refused to support the restructured club. Several fan clubs in Europe supported them by opposing the commercialization of football. After five months of negotiations, they re-created the team Austria , with traditional colors, an emblem and a name.

In May 2006, an official statement appeared on the official website about signing a contract with Giovanni Trapattoni as head coach and Lothar Matthäus as his assistant. “Red Bull” won the championship, having made it five rounds before the end, playing a 2-2 draw with the current champion “Austria” on April 28, 2007.

In the third qualifying round of the Champions League 2007–08, the team lost to Shakhtar , and in the UEFA Cup to the AEK. February 13, 2008 Giovanni Trapattoni announced that in May he will become the new head coach of the Irish national team. In the Red Bull championship, he finished second, six points behind Rapid ^[16] . After Trapattoni, the club was run by Ko Adrianse , which led the team to the championship. He was replaced by Hub Stevens , in which "Red Bull" defended the title ^[4] .

At the end of the 2010–11 season, Dutchman Ricardo Moniz became the head coach. Under his leadership, the team failed to win the third consecutive title, finishing second with three points behind Sturm ^[17] and winning a ticket to the Europa League. Moniza was advised to attract young players to the base, with the result that Daniel Offenbacher , Martin Hinteregger , Georg Teigl and Marco Meilinger were included in the team. In the season 2011–12, Red Bull scored a double, winning both the Cup and the national championship.

After the season, Moniz left his post, despite the fact that the contract was valid for another year. The new coach was Roger Schmidt , who previously led the Paderborn , speaking in the second Bundesliga. In July 2012, Red Bull flew out of the Champions League , losing to Dudelange in Luxembourg in the second qualifying round, losing 1-0 away and winning 3-4 at home ^[18] .

After that, there were major changes in the team. Several new players were acquired - Valon Berisha , Kevin Kampl, Howard Nielsen , Sadio Mane , Isaac Vorsa , Rodney . In the 2012–13 season, the club finished second behind Austria. The following year, Red Bull became the champion, beating the silver medalists by 11 points.
