Austria and Spain UEFA Euros Tournament Record
While they stand every chance in 90 minutes of football, Austria cannot compete with Spain in terms of major honours. Austria’s first appearance at the European Championships was as hosts in 2008. Since then, they have qualified for Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024.
At Euro 2020, Austria achieved their best performance by progressing to the knockout stages. They beat Ukraine and North Macedonia in the group stage, but Austria faced a significant challenge in the round of 16. They were beaten 2-1 after extra-time by eventual champions Italy.
In contrast, Spain holds a prestigious record in the UEFA European Championships, securing three championship titles. They’re the joint-most successful nation in this competition, alongside Germany, and are one of only four nations to win both the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championships.
La Roja’s first triumph dates back to 1964. Their second and third trophies came in consecutive tournaments at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012. They became famous for their iconic 'tiki-taka' style, playing without a recognised number nine. Their ball-playing midfielders, such as Andres Iniesta and Xavi, took the world by storm.
Austria vs Spain Head to Head
Austria and Spain have yet to meet in a UEFA European Championship, but have encountered each other four times in Euro qualifying groups. Spain secured victories in all four meetings, including an emphatic 9-0 win during the Euro 2000 qualification stage.
Austria last emerged victorious against Spain in a competitive match at the 1978 FIFA World Cup, triumphing 2-1 in the group stage.
