Named after the two stadiums nearby: Ernst-Happel-Stadion and Ferry-Dusika-Hallenstadion.
The big stadium in the Prater opened in 1931 and was renamed in 1993 after Ernst Happel (1925–1992), Viennese footballer and coach who won 18 titles with six teams in four countries, and national team manager in 1992. The indoor arena, with what was then Austria’s only cycling track, was named after the racing cyclist Ferry Dusika (1908–1984); it closed at the end of July 2021.
