Sportklub Schwadorf is an Austrian football club, based in the market town of Schwadorf. They are currently playing in the 16-team First League, the second tier of Austrian football. The club is known as trenkwalder Sportklub Schwadorf for sponsorship reasons — trenkwalder being the company of chairman Richard Trenkwalder.

The club was founded as ASK Schwadorf in May 1936, and played its first game on June 7 of that year, against Fischamend, winning 4-3.[1]

On August 8, 2005, ASK Schwadorf hosted Spanish giants Real Madrid in a pre-season friendly. The visitors fielded a team that included former FIFA World Player of the Year, Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, Raúl, English duo David Beckham and Michael Owen, and Brazilians Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos. Real won 4-1, with the goals coming from Raúl, Ronaldo, Javier Portillo and Owen.[1]

Similarly, the club welcomed English Premier League side Arsenal for a pre-season friendly on July 31, 2006. The visitors, whose line-up featured only a couple of familiar names, won 8-1.[2][3]

The club won the Landesliga championship in 2005/6 by a margin of twelve points.

They went on to win the Austrian Regional League East in 2006-07, thus achieving promotion for the fifth time in six years. Of their 30 league games, they won 22, drew 6, and lost 2. They finished seven points ahead of second-placed Polizei Feuerwehr.

Between 2005 and 2007, their manager was former Austria Vienna midfielder Attila Sekerlioglu. Sekerlioglu was fired in August 2007, replaced by Bernd Krauss.

Prior to the 2007-08 season, the club changed its name from ASK Schwadorf to SK Schwadorf.
