Austria's 26-player squad
Ralf Rangnick announced his 26-player squad on 18 May 2026, balancing experience with emerging talent. The squad centres on captain David Alaba's defensive leadership, midfield creativity from Marcel Sabitzer and Xaver Schlager, and attacking thrust from Marko Arnautović. Rangnick's selection reflects his preference for technical midfielders who can control possession and transition quickly, a hallmark of Austrian football under his tenure.
Austria's Group J fixtures
Austria's three Group J fixtures begin with Jordan on 16 June at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, followed by Argentina on 22 June at AT&T Stadium in Arlington and Algeria on 27 June at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
How far can Austria go at the World Cup?
The Austria World Cup squad embodies Rangnick's pressing profile: top of Europe for tackles and near the top for recoveries. Group J pits them against Argentina and a winnable pair in Algeria and Jordan—positioning Austria as realistic contenders for a knockout spot.
