Founded in 1983, the Vienna Vikings are regulars to Eurobowl competition having won the title five times (2004–2007 and 2013), as well being the runner-up four times (2003, 2008, 2010 and 2012).
The Vikings will sign no imports for 2015. This will be the first time in 25 years they will play without imports. HC Chris Calaycay will replace retired Austrian national team QB Chris Gross with 20-year old Alexander Thury. The Vikings have also lost their top WR, Laurhino Walch, to the Frankfurt Galaxy, but have a talented and experienced WR group to fill the gap.
On defense the Vikings will be led by Austrian league MVP OLB Simon Blach and a strong DL group that has four national team caliber players. The DB group also boasts two national team starters.
