Soccer : Austria : T-Mobile Bundesliga : Season 2008/2009
Since 1991 the Bundesliga has carried its own responsibility as a separate association, and organises the championships of the two highest divisions in Austria. Both are named after their sponsors; at present, T-Mobile for the Bundesliga and Red Zac for the first division. In addition the Bundesliga is responsible for the Toto Jugendliga and represents professional football in Austria, in co-operation with the football clubs themselves.
The Bundesliga champion qualifies for the UEFA Champions League, and the clubs at positions 2 and 3, as well as the Austrian Cup winner, enter the qualification rounds for the UEFA Cup. The team at position 4 enters the qualification for the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
