Austria and Germany UEFA Euros Tournament Record
In the realm of international football, Austria has not enjoyed even a fraction of Germany’s success.
The Austrian national team has failed to emulate their neighbours. Their first participation at a European Championship was as hosts at Euro 2008. Things have improved in recent years and Austria has successfully qualified for Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024.
Euro 2020 witnessed Austria's best performance in the competition, progressing to the knockout rounds for the first time. They lost to eventual winners Italy in the round of 16, defeated 2-1 after extra-time.
In contrast, Germany is the joint-most successful nation in the history of the European Championships. They’re a formidable force in international football, clinching the European Championship trophy on three occasions.
Germany’s first triumph dates back to 1972, when they beat the Soviet Union in the final. They achieved further success at Euro 1980 and Euro 1996, beating Belgium and the Czech Republic, respectively. The Germans, renowned for their winning mentality, are always among the favourites to win the competition.
Austria vs Germany Head to Head
Austria and Germany have only once previously met at the UEFA European Championships. The hosts were beaten 1-0 after Michael Ballack scored a sublime free kick in the group stage at Euro 2008 to book Die Mannschaft’s spot in the quarter-finals.
In 2018, Austria ended a 9-match losing streak against Germany, beating their neighbours 2-1 in a friendly match.
