FC Mauerwerk

Fußballclub Karabakh Wien was founded on 2 August 2014 by members of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Vienna. The club was officially registered with the Vienna Football Association (WFV) and obtained a license to begin competition in the Oberliga A Wien.

At the time of its founding, the Oberliga represented the third tier of the Vienna regional association and the sixth tier of the overall Austrian football league system. The club's initial mission was to represent the culture of the Nagorno-Karabakh region through sport, before undergoing a complete rebranding to FC Mauerwerk in 2018 to reflect its new commercial ownership.

In its inaugural 2014–15 season, Karabakh Wien competed in the Oberliga A Wien. The club finished the season in second place out of 14 teams, securing 55 points with a record of 17 wins, 2 draws, and 7 defeats from 26 matches. Despite the strong performance, they finished behind champions Wiener SC II and initially missed out on automatic promotion to the 2. Landesliga Wien.

To accelerate their ascent through the league system, the club's management orchestrated a merger with SC Kaiserebersdorf-Srbija at the end of the season. This strategic move allowed the club to secure a spot in the higher tier for the 2015–16 season by taking over Kaiserebersdorf's license and moving their operations to that district.

During the same season, the club also competed in the Wien Cup, where they achieved five consecutive victories before being eliminated. The club's rapid professionalization and early results were noted by local sports analysts as an unusual success for a newly established side.

Following its acquisition of SC Kaiserebersdorf-Srbija, the club competed in the 2. Landesliga Wien for the 2015–16 season. The 2. Landesliga is the second-highest league in the Vienna Football Association and the fifth tier of the Austrian football league system. The club's board of directors set an ambitious goal of winning the championship in their debut season in the division. Karabakh Wien successfully secured the title, finishing with 67 points from 21 wins, 4 draws, and 5 defeats, four points ahead of their nearest rivals in the 16-team league.

Parallel to their league success, the club achieved a historic run in the Wien Cup (Wiener Cup), a competition featuring nearly 300 clubs from the Vienna region. Karabakh Wien reached the final, where they defeated SV Gersthof 2–0 at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, the home of the Austria national football team.

With this victory, Karabakh Wien became the first club in the history of the 2. Landesliga Wien to win both the league title and the city cup in the same season. Additionally, the club's youth setup saw success as the U18 team secured a regional championship, resulting in a "treble" of trophies for the organization during the 2015–16 campaign.

For the 2016–17 season, Karabakh Wien competed in the Wiener Stadtliga, the highest division in Vienna and the fourth tier of the Austrian football league system. Following their back-to-back promotions, local sports analysts identified the club as a primary contender for the championship title. The club finished the season as champions of the Wiener Stadtliga, securing 71 points from 30 matches with 22 wins, 5 draws, and 3 defeats, earning direct promotion to the third-tier Regionalliga Ost.

On 8 July 2016, Karabakh Wien participated in a high-profile fixture against SK Rapid Wien in the first round of the 2016–17 Austrian Cup. Despite the significant gap in budget and league standing, Karabakh provided a competitive performance in front of 3,500 spectators at the Sportclub-Platz. The match ended in a 3–1 victory for Rapid Wien, with Karabakh scoring a late goal in the 90th minute.

During the first half of the season, the club set a new league record by remaining undefeated for 15 consecutive matches, a feat that highlighted the club's rapid ascent within Austrian football.

Liga. The club was subsequently acquired by Egyptian-Austrian businessman Mustafa Elnimr, the owner of the Mauerwerk Group.

Elnimr, who was already a major sponsor of the Wiener Stadtliga club Mauerwerk Sport Admira (formerly SC Admira Dornbach), opted not to merge the two organizations. Instead, Karabakh Wien was rebranded as FC Mauerwerk, while Mauerwerk Sport began operating as a satellite club designed to develop young talent for the primary team. This structural model was intended to mirror the relationship between FC Red Bull Salzburg and FC Liefering, supporting Elnimr's continued ambition to achieve promotion to the professional Austrian second tier.

Under the new branding, the club retained its place in the Regionalliga Ost and continued to play its home matches at the Rudolf-Tonn-Stadion in Schwechat.
