The former SV Austria Salzburg reached the [[UEFA Cup]] final in [[1993–94 UEFA Cup|1994]]. On 6 April 2005 [[Red Bull]] bought the club and changed its name to [[FC Red Bull Salzburg]]. The home stadium of Red Bull Salzburg is the [[Wals Siezenheim Stadium]] in a suburb in the agglomeration of Salzburg and was one of the venues for the [[2008 European Football Championship]]. FC Red Bull Salzburg plays in the [[Austrian Football Bundesliga|Austrian Bundesliga]].

After Red Bull had bought the SV Austria Salzburg and changed its name and team colors, some supporters of the club decided to leave and form a new club with the old name and old colors, wanting to preserve the traditions of their club. The reformed [[SV Austria Salzburg]] was founded in 2005 and at one point played in the [[Austrian Football First League|Erste Liga]], only one tier below the Bundesliga. However, in recent years they have struggled to climb back up to the Austrian second tier and since 2019 they compete in the [[Regionalliga Salzburg]] in the Austrian Football third tier.

===Ice-hockey===
Red Bull also sponsors the local [[ice hockey]] team, the [[EC Red Bull Salzburg|EC Salzburg Red Bulls]]. The team plays in the [[Erste Bank Eishockey Liga]], an Austria-headquartered cross-border league featuring the best teams from Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy, as well as one Czech team.

===Other sports===
Salzburg was a candidate city for the [[2010 Winter Olympics|2010]] and [[2014 Winter Olympics]], but lost to [[Vancouver]] and [[Sochi]] respectively.
