Baseball in Austria is enjoying a steadily growing fan base, as the country is one of the top 10 nations in Europe. In Austria, around 5,900 active players play in around 30 teams. In addition to successful competition in the leagues, the focus of Austrian clubs such as the Vienna Metrostars is on promoting young talent and building up youth teams.
Founded in 1982 as the Vienna Homerunners, we have been a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that has been promoting baseball in Vienna for over 42 years, making us the oldest active baseball club in Austria. As 15-time national champions, we have been playing in the 1st Baseball Bundesliga since 1985 and have been operating the Freudenau baseball field, located in the green Vienna Prater, since 1989.
The Metrostars have been operating the Freudenau baseball field, located right next to the Lusthaus in the green Vienna Prater, since 1989: Aspernallee 3, 1020 Vienna. The field is easy to reach by car via Handelskai, or by taking the 77A bus of the Wiener Linien; the stop “Lusthaus, Aspernallee” is right next to the field.
The Vienna Metrostars baseball club offers everyone interested, boys and girls, young and old, in Vienna and the surrounding area in all age categories and several leagues the opportunity to learn the sport of baseball and to play it both recreationally and competitively. Motivated members, coaches and trainers await you in the Metrostars family!
