The 1994/95 season was a breakthrough year for SK Sturm Graz in Austrian football. Under coach Ivica Osim, the club rose to prominence with a bold, attacking style that challenged the traditional dominance of Austria Wien and Rapid Wien.
Sturm finished 3rd in the Austrian Bundesliga, securing European football and signaling the start of their rise in the mid-90s. Key players like Ivica Vastić, Hannes Reinmayr, and Mario Haas began to make their mark, combining technical skill with relentless energy.
It was a season that laid the foundation for Sturm Graz’s golden era, which would later bring domestic trophies and Champions League nights to the city of Graz.
