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)
“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
