The Austrian women's national football team progressed to the second round of the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup play-offs after defeating Kosovo in two legs with a 6-1 aggregate score. Following a 2-1 away victory in the first leg, Austria secured a 4-0 win in the second leg in Vienna. Goals in the decisive match were scored by Marie-Therese Höbinger, Sarah Puntigam, Virginia Kirchberger, and Eileen Campbell.

The match at Sport-Club-Platz was attended by over 3,500 spectators and featured the return of Sarah Zadrazil to the starting eleven. The squad also saw 17-year-old Valentina Pötzl make her first start, though Annabel Schasching was substituted early due to a thigh injury.

Austria will face Switzerland in the final two-legged European qualification round to determine a path toward the 2027 tournament in Brazil. The first leg is scheduled for December 1 at the Wankdorf Stadium in Bern, Switzerland, followed by the second leg on December 5 at the Franz-Horr-Stadion in Vienna.
