The first games of the national soccer team this year are two with consequences. On Thursday (8:45 p.m., live on ORF one and in the standard live ticker), the ÖFB team will meet Serbia in the play-off first leg of the Nations League in Vienna. The second leg rises on Sunday (6 p.m., servus TV) in Belgrade. The winner of the duel will play in the highest league (A) of the Nations League in autumn 2026 and can probably look forward to some caliber there.
