History
The club was formed in 2011 after taking over FC Stattegg's women's team, despite interest from rivals Grazer AK in also taking over the team.[3] The club started out playing in the 2nd Women's League East,[4] before getting promoted at the end of the 2012–13 into the ÖFB-Frauenliga. After an 8th place finish in their inaugural top-flight season, Sturm Graz went from strength to strength and qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League after finishing 2nd in the 2015–16 season.[5] They were knocked out of their first Champions League campaign at the Round of 32, losing 0–9 on aggregate to Zürich.[6] [7] Since the 2015–16 season, Sturm Graz have finished as runners-up twice more.
