The club was formed in 1922 and played its home games at the 17,100 capacity
Pappelstadion. The club played in the
Bundesliga from the 2003–04 season until 2020, except two seasons between 2013 and 2015. SV Mattersburg drew large crowds, with the average crowd for the 2004–05 season being the second highest in Austria, even though the town of Mattersburg has only 6,300 inhabitants. In the
2006–07 season, Mattersburg finished third in the Bundesliga, the highest position in their history. SV Mattersburg was declared bankrupt in August 2020 after their main financial backer,
Commerzialbank Mattersburg was closed down following an accounting scandal.
Mattersburger SV 2020, a
phoenix club, took over SV Matterbsurg's youth facilities and in season 2021/22 started playing at the lowest regional level of competition in Burgenland. == Manager history ==
