Iin the ADMIRAL Bundesliga, and in the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) youth leagues, the season is entering its final stretch – and we're taking a look how the teams from the Red Bull Football Academy stand as they head into the final straight.

U18 aim to seal UYL spot

Under coach Tobias Kern, after Danny Galm took over FC Liefering in February, the U18 boys got off to a slow start in the spring with their first defeat of the season, but have responded with brutal dominance in their matches since. The last four matches have all been won – with an impressive overall goal difference of 15:0!

This puts our boys top of the table with a five-point lead over Sturm Graz – and with one game in hand. Winning the U18 Youth League would be of great importance, as it would also secure their place in the 2026/27 UEFA Youth League. Seven or eight rounds remain until the end of the season.

U16 and U15 also on top

The situation is similarly promising for the U16 team. Coach Stefan Schoberer's side sit atop the table with a six-point cushion over Sturm Graz, having recently achieved a resounding 4-0 win against Tirol. The team is still undefeated.

While the U15 academy team are in a slightly closer race, they are also in first place in the ÖFB Youth League. With 15 of 22 rounds played, we are currently level on points with Austria Vienna, but with a better goal difference.
