This important piece is the official program from the June 26, 1954 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinal at the Stade Olympique de Lausanne — the Austria vs. Switzerland match that produced a remarkable 7-5 Austrian victory, still the highest-scoring match in FIFA World Cup history. The bilingual program (French/German) carries the distinctive 1954 tournament cover: the iconic goalkeeper-and-ball illustration in blue and orange, with "Championnat du Monde de Football 1954 / Coupe Jules Rimet" running along the left spine.
Interior pages include the official "Quart de finale – Autriche-Suisse" match information page listing the Stade Olympique de Lausanne venue, the June 26 date, federation profiles and historical records for both Austria and Switzerland, team photographs of both squads, the comparative head-to-head results from 1917 to 1952, the full tournament bracket in the Tableau des Matches format, the illustrated Ovomaltine center-spread lineup featuring both starting XIs, and extensive period advertising. The Austrian team photo caption identifies players including Ocwirk, Schmied, Happel, Koerner, Barschandt, Wagner, Koller, Probst, and Stojaspal. The Breitling chronograph advertisement is among the notable period ads. The program shows age-appropriate toning and light wear but presents in solid overall condition.
