The Austrian Regional League is the third-highest division in Austrian football, after the Austrian Bundesliga and the First League. It is divided into three conferences: East (German: Ost), covering the states of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland; Central (Mitte), covering the provinces of Styria, Carinthia, Upper Austria and the exclave of East Tyrol; and West, covering the provinces of Salzburg, Tyrol (with the exception of East Tyrol) and Vorarlberg.
Famous quotes containing the words austrian and/or league:
“The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
