Cup draw: Austria and LASK against former coaches
The semi-finals of the ÖFB Cup have now been decided! Vienna's Austria will host Hartberg with former coach Manfred Schmid. LASK will face WAC at home - and thus also their former coach Didi Kühbauer.

LASK and Wolfsberg have only met once before in the Cup, with Linz coming out on top in the 2021 semi-final. Reaching the final is now also the declared goal. "We will do everything we can to achieve this big goal, knowing that the WAC will demand everything from us and that we will have to push ourselves to the limit again," said coach Markus Schopp. Wolfsberg have never reached the cup final.
The team from Hartberg will once again travel to Vienna-Favoriten, where SV Stripfing were only eliminated after extra time in the quarter-finals. The favorites are Austria, who are the record winners of the competition with 27 Cup titles. The Violets want to advance to the final for the first time since 2015. Austria last won the cup in 2009.
The matches will take place between April 1 and 3, with the final in Klagenfurt again scheduled for May 1. For the first time in eleven years, the Cup winner will not be Sturm Graz or Red Bull Salzburg.
However, one thing is already certain: the winner of the first drawn match (i.e. LASK v WAC) will have the right to play at home in the final.
