Salzburger Liga
football league
The Salzburger Liga, is since the 2010–11 season, the top division in Salzburg football and the fourth-highest division in Austria. The association responsible for the league is the Salzburg Football Association.
In general, per season one team moves up into the Austrian Regional League West, and two teams moves down to the 1. Landesliga. Depending on the number of clubs from Salzburg descending from the Regional League West the number of teams moving up from the Salzburger Liga can vary.
History
In the 1920/21 season, a joint championship was still held with Upper Austria involving five clubs. The winner of this championship was SK Vorwärts Steyr, followed by Welser SC. Salzburger SK finished third, becoming the highest-ranking team from Salzburg. In the following season, the Salzburg Football Association, founded on April 15, 1921, organized its own championship with six teams: the reigning champion 1. Salzburger SK 1919, Salzburger AK 1914, Deutscher SV Salzburg, SK Oberndorf, Itzlinger SK, and SK Neumarkt. In the subsequent years, fewer teams participated for various reasons.

Why this record matters
“Salzburger Liga” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Salzburger, Liga and football provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2215992. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010, 1920, 1921 and 1919.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
