Sturm Graz

Sturm Graz were founded in 1909 and play their home games at Merkur-Arena in Austria.

Our attention this fine day shifts to Austrian side Sturm Graz, a squad that's been kicking around since the swing of 1909. Home is where the heart is, as they say, and for Sturm Graz that's the grassy expanse of Merkur-Arena. A charming setting, to be sure.

Active as the dickens this season, they've got their boots in 4 competitions. Occupying a comfortable fourth place in their domestic Bundesliga; pushing to the quarter-finals of the ÖFB Cup; having a fair run in the Champions League Qualifiers, reaching as far as the play-offs; and, of course, making their presence known in the Europa League's league phase.

A squad of 17 puts their stock on the field, a tight group, these lads. Average age rounds down to a few months past twenty-three. It's all about the grass roots with these Graz boys.
