'''Linzer Athletik-Sport-Klub''', commonly known as '''LASK''' ({{IPA|de|lask|-|De-at LASK Linz.ogg}}), or '''Linzer ASK''', is an [[Austria]]n professional [[Football team|football club]] based in [[Upper Austria|Upper-Austrian]] state capital [[Linz]]. It is the oldest football club in that region, and plays in the [[Austrian Football Bundesliga]], the top tier of Austrian football. The club's colours are black and white. The women's team plays in the second highest division of Austrian women's football.

It is one of the few clubs of the country's higher divisions that, since coming into existence, never exhibited a sponsor in the official club name.

In 1965, the club became the first team outside [[Vienna]] to win the Austrian football championship, with this being its only league title to date. The club currently plays its home games at the [[Raiffeisen Arena (Linz)|Raiffeisen Arena]] in [[Linz]].

== History ==
[[File:LASK Performance Graph.png|260px|thumb|Historical chart of LASK league performance]]
In the winter of 1908, Albert Siems, head of the royal post-office garage at Linz, who had already been a member of an 1899-founded club for heavy athletics, ''Linzer Athletik Sportklub Siegfried'', decided to establish a football club. At that time, the side already played in the black-and-white lengthwise-touched shirts.

The club's first name was ''Linzer Sportclub''. During an extraordinary general meeting on 14 September 1919, the final change of name, to ''Linzer Athletik Sport-Klub'' (short form ''Linzer ASK'') took place, its forerunner setting the example. Nevertheless, the public denomination of the team was largely LASK. The club first appeared in top-flight competition in the [[Gauliga Ostmark]] in 1940–41, coming last and being relegated. In 1949–50, LASK was promoted, becoming professional for the first time in its history. However, years in the top flight were tough, and the club was involved in a relegation battle most of the time, until it was finally relegated in 1953–54. 

In 1957–58, LASK won the second division and was promoted again. In 1961–62, the club finished runner up to [[FK Austria Wien|Austria Wien]], their best position in history up to that time, and in [[1962–63 Austrian Cup|1962–63]] they played their first cup final, losing 1–0 to Austria Wien. Two years later, LASK achieved its greatest success, winning the [[Austrian Football Bundesliga|Austrian League]] in [[1964–65 Austrian football championship|1965]]. No club outside Vienna had ever won before. Additionally, the club won the [[Austrian Cup|Austrian cup]] that same year, completing a domestic double and becoming one of the only Austrian clubs to do so. In 1967, the club reached the cup final again, losing again to Austria Wien on a coin toss after extra time was played. Three years later the club reached the cup final again, losing to [[Wacker Innsbruck]]. The club spent most of the 70s in mid table, but were relegated in [[1977–78 Austrian Football Bundesliga|1977–78]], although achieving immediate promotion for the [[1980–81 Austrian Football Bundesliga|1980–81 season]]. 

In the [[1985–86 UEFA Cup]], the side beat European giants [[Internazionale Milan]] at home (1–0), on 23 October 1985, eventually bowing out 4–1 on aggregate (second round).

In 1995, the club slipped into a financial crisis, and filed for bankruptcy. The president fled to [[Ivory Coast]] with large chunks of money, leaving the club with severe debt, and forcing the sale of several key players. In May 1997, the club merged with city rivals ''[[FC Linz]]'', and the new official name became ''LASK Linz'', as officials wanted to bring out the city's name as a complement to the LASK designation, which had constituted itself as a brand name. The club name, colours, chairmen and members remained the same, effectively saving the club from dissolving. However, this merger angered many people, who believed that FC Linz were a more successful club than LASK.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=19 May 2017 |title=20 Jahre Fusion: Als der FC Linz begraben wurde |trans-title=20 years of merger: When FC Linz was buried |url=https://www.nachrichten.at/nachrichten/spezial/art194059,2571796 |access-date=2023-11-07 |website=nachrichten.at |language=de}}</ref> Curiously, just ten days before the merger, FC Linz beat LASK 3–0 in the city derby. For the next few years, the players that LASK took from FC Linz made a big part of the starting lineup.<ref name=":0" />

Despite the financial struggles, the club still managed to steer away from relegation and qualify for the [[1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup|1996 Intertoto Cup]]. In the Intertoto Cup, LASK had a great participation, finishing first in its group with no losses, with notable wins over [[Werder Bremen]] (3–1) and [[Djurgårdens IF Fotboll|Djurgården]] (2–0). In the semi-finals, the club was eliminated 7–2 on aggregate by [[Rotor Volgograd]]. In the 1998–99 season they reached their fourth Austrian cup final, losing to [[Sturm Graz]] on penalties.

In 2000–01, the club was relegated, and at one point was close to being relegated to the third division. In August 2004, the club suffered an 8–0 home defeat to [[FC Kärnten]]. In 2007, after six years in the second division, they were promoted to the highest division again. However, just four years later, the club was relegated back to the second division, followed by relegation to the ''3. Liga'' in 2012 due to a license withdrawal caused by bankruptcy. The club was taken over by a consortium of local entrepreneurs called "Friends of LASK" in December 2013. By this time the club was on the verge of being shut down, and the players received no salary. They could not afford the city stadium, so they moved to a stadium 50&nbsp;km away. It was only because of the tremendous cohesion of the coach and the team that the club was able to keep the championship going at that time.

In the first season after the takeover, LASK finished first in the Regionalliga Central Division, and qualified for the promotion playoffs, but lost 5–0 on aggregate to [[FC Liefering]] and had to stay another season in the third division. 

Promotion to the ''2. Liga was'' secured on 5 June 2014 after a 2–1 victory on aggregate over [[Parndorf 1919]] in front of 13,000 fans at the [[Linzer Stadion]]. On 21 April 2017, the club returned to the Bundesliga with six rounds to go after a 3–0 victory over Liefering.  During this time, head coach [[Oliver Glasner]] and Vice President [[Jürgen Werner (footballer, born 1961)|Jürgen Werner]] constructed a team with an unmistakable style of play.

In 2016, the club moved to [[Pasching]] after disagreements with the city council. In 2018, the club returned to the European competitions, but they were eliminated from the [[2018–19 UEFA Europa League qualifying phase and play-off round|Europa league qualifiers]] after a 2–1 win against [[Beşiktaş J.K.|Beşiktaş]] in the second leg due to the away goals rule. 

In the [[2019–20 UEFA Europa League]], LASK had an excellent campaign, topping their group which consisted of European champions [[Sporting CP|Sporting Lisbon]] and [[PSV Eindhoven]]. LASK began their campaign with a 1–0 win over [[Rosenborg BK|Rosenborg]], and later beat PSV 4–1, concluding their group stage campaign with a 3–0 home victory against Sporting on 12 December 2019. In the round of 32, LASK faced Dutch club [[AZ Alkmaar]]. The first leg finished 1–1, but in the second leg LASK had a stellar performance, winning 2–0 and qualifying to the round of 16, where they were eliminated by [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] with a 7–1 aggregate score.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2028231/ |title=Man.

On 24 February 2023, LASK officially opened their new stadium called [[Raiffeisen Arena (Linz)|Raiffeisen Arena]] in a victory against [[SC Austria Lustenau|Austria Lustenau]].
