FC Wacker Tirol is an Austrian football club from Innsbruck. The club was formed in June 2002, and plays their home games at Tivoli Neu. The club regard themselves as the spiritual continuation of the team FC Wacker Innsbruck (later known as FC Tirol Innsbruck), who went bankrupt in 2002. However, legally Wacker Tirol is a distinct and separate club, and is not entitled to claim the honours won by its predecessors. Despite this, the club badge of Wacker Tirol is permitted to carry a star, which signifies the 10 league titles won by the predecessor teams.
The ascent of Wacker Tirol into the Bundesliga took only two years from formation, with promotion to the top division achieved in 2004. Wacker Tirol finished 6th in their first Bundesliga season.
