Louis Schaub (German pronunciation: [ˈluːi ˈʃaʊ̯p];[2][3] born 29 December 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Austrian Football Bundesliga club Rapid Wien. Born in Germany, he plays for the Austria national team.[4][5]

He was selected by influential football website IBWM in their list of the 100 most exciting players in world football for 2014.[6]

Club career

Schaub made his debut for Rapid Wien's senior team in the 3–0 Austrian Football Bundesliga win over Sturm Graz on 18 August 2012.[7] On 4 August 2015, Schaub scored two goals, including the winning goal in an unexpected 3–2 victory for Rapid Wien against Ajax Amsterdam in the UEFA Champions League qualifier.[8]

Having played for 1. FC Köln since 2018, Schaub was loaned to Swiss side Luzern for the 2020–21 season.[9] He joined Hannover 96 on a free transfer in July 2022.[10]

Schaub returned to Rapid Wien at the start of the 2024–25 season.[11]

International career

Schaub has been capped at four different age groups for Austria. He made his debut for Austria U21 in a 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship qualification Group 4 1–0 win over Albania U21 on 14 August 2013, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute.[12]

Schaub was named in Austria's senior squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales in September 2016.[13]

Personal life

Schaub was born into a mixed German-Austrian family. His mother is Austrian[14] and his father German, making him eligible to represent either nation internationally. His father, Fred Schaub, was a professional football player as well, having spent most of his career in the German Bundesliga. Fred Schaub died in April 2003 in a car accident; Louis was in the car and survived the accident.[15][16] His younger sister Chiara also plays football and has represented Austria at youth level.[17]
