'Wattens' Sports Community Tyrol'), commonly known as WSG Tirol, is a professional association football club based in the town of Wattens, Tyrol, Austria, that competes in the Austrian Football Bundesliga, the top tier of the Austrian football league system. Founded in 1930, it is affiliated to the Tirol Football Association. The team plays its home matches at Tivoli Stadion Tirol, where it has been based since 2019.

History
The club was formed in 1930 and has been known as SC Wattens (1930–53), SV Wattens (1953–71), and WSG Wattens (1984–2019). Its most successful period was in 1968–71, when it competed in the Austrian Bundesliga. Between 1971 and 1984 it merged with FC Wacker Innsbruck to form SSW Innsbruck (the merged team went on to win the Bundesliga five times and reached the quarter-finals of the 1977-78 European Cup). In this period the club retained its identity with distinct youth teams. From 1984, WSG Wattens have played in the Austrian Regional League West and the second tier First League. In 2019, they were promoted to the Bundesliga. After promotion, the club announced that their name would be changed to WSG Swarowski Tirol. In 2021 however, Swarovski ended its sponsorship and its name was removed from the club's name as well as from the business.
The team is known for its strong attacking style of play and has a talented roster of players from Austria and around the world. WSG Swarovski Tirol plays their home matches at the Tivoli-Neu stadium, which has a capacity of over 30,000 spectators.
The team is sponsored by Swarovski, a renowned Austrian crystal manufacturer, which is reflected in their official team name. WSG Swarovski Tirol has a passionate fan base that supports the team both at home and away matches.
Overall, WSG Swarovski Tirol is a competitive and exciting team to watch in the Austrian Bundesliga, and they continue to strive for success in domestic and international competitions.
