Alexander Schöpf

Alexander Schöpf of LASK was born in Umhausen, Austria on 7 February 1994 (age 32).

Alexander Schöpf, born on 7 February 1994 (age 32), is an Austrian central midfielder with LASK, where he wears squad number 18. His career has been built on steady first-team football rather than much fuss, with his most productive league season coming at Nuremberg in 2015-16, when he scored six goals in 19 appearances.

That Nuremberg campaign remains the clearest attacking mark in his record: useful output from midfield, without recasting him as something he was not. Schöpf’s work has generally belonged in the centre of the pitch, where reliability tends to matter more than decoration.

At LASK in 2026-27, he has made 14 appearances in all competitions and scored twice. That includes nine Bundesliga appearances with two goals, two in Champions League qualifying, and three in the Champions League. He has also been involved with Austria this season, making three appearances in European World Cup qualifying.

Schöpf’s profile is straightforward: an experienced Austrian midfielder, productive at Nuremberg in his early twenties and still playing regular senior football with LASK and Austria in his thirties.
