During the 2001–02 season, FC Tirol Innsbruck played in the Austrian Football Bundesliga, the highest tier of the Austrian football league system.[1]
Tirol Innsbruck won their third successive league title. However, the club's financial obligations, including an annual wage bill of €10 million, ultimately saw the collapse of the club at the end of the season. The club were unable to post a €4.5 million bond with the league, resulting in the loss of their license to play in the Bundesliga. With debts totaling €16 million, the club went bankrupt.[2] A successor club, FC Wacker Tirol, was formed, and merged with third-tier club Wattens to avoid starting in the bottom tier.
