Virtual Journey Through The Stadiums
The Ernst-Happel-Stadion (until 1992 the official name was Praterstadion or Wiener Stadion) in Vienna is Austria’s largest stadium. The stadium only hosts home games of the Austrian national team and no club matches (except UEFA Cup, UEFA Champions League, some derbies and cup finals). Ernst-Happel-Stadion is the only 5-star stadium with less than 50,000 seats (49,825); for the UEFA EURO 2008™ the seating capacity was extended to 53,008.
The stadium was named after Ernst Happel (born 29th November 1925 in Vienna, died 14th November 1992 in Innsbruck) who was one of Austria’s most successful football players and coaches. As national team player he reached the 3rd place at the 1954 FIFA World Cup in Switzerland. At Rapid Wien he was the audience's favorite player. After retiring as a player, Happel worked as successful football coach in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Austria.
