History

The establishment of the USK Anif is due solely female activity, with about ten women met for regular gym class in Schloßwirt hall and soon you dealt with the idea to start a club. On May 20, 1947 this project was realized and established the club as " gymnastic and sporting Union Anif ". The founding committee sat down with Maria Pichler, Ella Komposch, Elsa Maria Zyla and Gastager together consistently from women.

In the fall of foundation year one then already could watch male athletes who had conspired football. The enthusiasm for football was so big that you exercised regularly and played friendly matches against teams from neighboring communities. In the fall of 1948, the football section was founded within the existing association. More sections followed over the years. Interesting to note that at the General Assembly on January 8, 1949, the Board of Directors of the association with Richard Kohlenbacher, Hans Schwarz, Erwin Babůrek and Alois Grangl only from men.

The start of the Anifer footballer was successful, because in the first game of the year championship title was won in the 2nd category B, which includes many more titles in different leagues followed. By league Neueinteilungen Anif played from mid-50s to 1974 in the first class, or class country north and managed with the Master title in 1965 for the first time the rise in the national league, the one belonged initially for 4 years. From the mid- 70s the football players put on a real high-altitude flight, the championship title in the Alps League and promotion to the second highest Austrian league, the former 2nd Division, culminated.

By participating in this Liga 1978/79 became the club on regional notoriety, though not outstanding athletic achievements. So went the first 14 games in a row lost, even the first hit for Anif was not until the 6th game In the last round of autumn finally scored the first victory. In the broadcast sports on Monday of the ORF devoted a documentary to the USK Anif, where in particular the fan base was highlighted positive because the team was always celebrated in spite of the defeats. During this time, a " Anif Fan Club" was founded in Vienna, who loudly supported the provincial team from Salzburg in games in the federal capital. The spring season year was somewhat better, but Anif had only 8 points as a Table back into the Alps league. To date, no team that has really challenged all the games in the second division fewer points in a season reached ( SK Vorwärts Steyr came in 1999/2000 to only 4 points, the game operation rested but after the withdrawal of licenses for winter break ).

From 2003 to 2012

For the 2003/ 04 season, the club played in the Regionalliga West, but had at the end of the season to realize that it was too weak and equal descent again. Since the 2007/ 08 season Anif is now firmly established in the West Regional. After the second team of FC Red Bull Salzburg to the 2009/10 season were relegated to the Regionalliga West and a resurgence due to the new Bundesliga statutes was no longer possible, Red Bull was looking for a co- association. The aim of this cooperation is the youth players of Red Bull Salzburg to allow a practice game in a higher league than the Regional and send them on the Red Bull soccer academy in Liefering. For the season 2010/11 a number of experienced players were brought to Anif with the financial help of Red Bull, such as Andreas Schrott, Manfred Pamminger, Patrick Mayer or U -20 World Cup hero Ingo Enzenberger to provide for the promotion to the First League. After the failed ascent the team was rebuilt, but still reached in the autumn season 2011/12, a top spot. At the end of the fall season coach Thomas Hofer left the club and moved on to league rivals SV Austria Salzburg. New coach, Michael Baur, the former assistant coach of LASK.

As well as Romairo McKnight currently for Niagara United plays semi-professional in the Canadian Soccer League Canadian, he went through in addition to the youth teams of Anif, the Academy of Lille.

Renaming and Moving in 2012

At the general meeting on 28 June 2012, the members of USK Anif decided to rename the club in FC Liefering. The old Board of Directors was deposed and a new selected. In addition, virtually entered (up to the new board ) from the club and into a newly formed already 22 June 2011 club called FC Anif all of the more than 500 members. Background of this action was that the new FC Liefering should occur as an unofficial farm team of FC Red Bull Salzburg, because the second team, the Red Bull Juniors, must not ascend to the First League. This goal is now to reach the officially independent of Red Bull FC Liefering. Therefore, he has been wearing the 2012/13 season of his games usually at the Red Bull Arena, as on the sports field of Lieferinger football academy of Red Bull are possible due to the expansion any games.

The FC Anif newly established, however, to compete in a lottery syndicate with the Red Bull Juniors Anifer sports center in the old club colors. The Anifer wanted by joining forces with Red Bull improve the financial situation of the club. Heinrich Bacher soul, the chairman of the USK Anif was up to renaming and took office in the new FC Anif, had feared a descent from the Regional League West because of economic problems " in the next two - three years." In fact, the FC Liefering secured in the 2012/13 season the league title in the West Regional and qualified for the play-offs against the champions of the Regional Centre, the LASK. The Salzburg won the home game against the Upper Austrian giants 2-0 and the away game 3-0 and thus managed to move up to the First League, the second power level in Austria, making it one of the top 20 football teams in the country.
