Source-derived summary

Sportklub Slovan Hütteldorfer Athletikclub Wien, better known as SK Slovan HAC, is an Austrian football club located in Hütteldorf, Vienna, Austria.

History

Sk Slovan HAC was founded on 11 January 1902 as Sportovni Klub Slovan ve Vídni - better known as SK Slovan - by the Czech minority in Vienna. They were promoted to the Austrian First Division in 1923, and built a new stadium - the České srdce (now known as the Generali Arena). The stadium was so large that it caused the club financial problems.

The club was relegated in 1928/29 season, but was in the first division again in 1930. They again achieved promotion to the first division in 1949/50 as AC Sparta. In 1960, the club merged with ÖMV Olympia 33 and the club was known as SK Slovan-Olympia. In 1976, they merged with Hütteldorfer AC founded in 1911, and was thereafter known as SK Slovan-Hütteldorfer AC. They have mostly played in the Wiener Stadtliga since the 1980s and 90s.

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1902, 1923, 1928, 1930—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1902-01-11. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Slovan, association and football providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “SK Slovan HAC”, the useful work is to connect “association football club” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q684101. VIAF identifies the subject as 122480772. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. 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.

How to read it
