The ultras packed the stand closest to the small sided match and created an amazing atmosphere.
The footage shows flags being waved, loud chanting and that pyrotechnics had been set off.
There is no bad behaviour from any of the fans and the children responded well to the large crowd they were playing in front of.
Austria Salzburg coach Sascha Gastuba initially shared the video on his Instagram account with a gushing caption about the club’s supporters.

“Meanwhile, I answer with a smile but also with pride.
“Austria is a family club that has put children in the heart of everything we do.”
