The town
Altstätten is a lively provincial town in the heart of the St. Gallen Rhine
valley at the foot of the hills of Appenzell. The lowest point is 410 m above
sea level and the highest point, the popular mountain viewing point
Hoher Kasten 1,795 m.
At the time of the first recorded reference in 853 the monastery of St.
Gallen owned significant estates in Altstätten (at that time "villa altsteti" -
grange of the old site). In order to protect the territory against the Count
of Montfort from across the Rhine Abbot Berchtold von Falkenstein
fortified the Altstätten grange with a circular wall. At this time the place
was accorded township status in 1298. In the 18th century Altstätten
experienced years of economic prosperity with textile manufacturing and
trade.
Many industrious families secured substantial affluence for themselves
and provided work. We can thank these families for the magnificent
baroque buildings and allees which are characteristic of the present day
townscape and bear attractive witness to those times. Today Altstätten
has around 11,000 inhabitants and is the centre of the region.
Around 150 clubs and traditions such as Carnival and various markets all
contribute to what is a vibrant township. A substantial number of
enterprises are based in Altstätten. Today, about 6,500 employees earn
their living in more than 720 businesses ranging from global hi-tech
companies to small agricultural units. In addition to Altstätten itself, the
district of Altstätten includes the villages of Lüchingen and Hinterforst,
various hamlets and the enclave of Lienz with Plona. In the expansive
mountain region with its typical scattered settlements there are
numerous scenic attractions and recreational areas.

The club
The majority of the team is taken from the current junior A team of FC
Altstätten. The reinforcing players are recruited from the clubs between
Rüthi and Au respectively. Following various meetings and trials the
squad for the tournament is named.
At the 6th appearance in 2008 the best final placing to date was achieved
with 5th place. With the exception of the 8th appearance in 2012 (6th
place) it has always been a fight to avoid the last place in the table. The
placing is not the major priority at FC Altstätten Selection however but
rather the opportunity to compete in top-class international football and
measure themselves against their peers from the region. For that reason
alone the enthusiasm and motivation to play in this team are extremely
high. Time after time former FC Altstätten Selection players talk about
appearing in the international U19 football tournament as being the
pinnacle of their career.
The FC Altstätten Selection players are released from their regular clubs
for the duration of the U19 football tournament; they do not therefore
take part in the official championship games for their clubs on the
tournament weekend.
