1. Favoritner FC Vorwärts 06 Wien
The  next years became an integral part of the second class. In the 1941/42 season they came second behind the BSG Reichsbahn I. The next season they became champion but had to play two relegation matches versus  SC Austria Donauarbeiter. With an  score of 5:2 Vorwärts  had qualified for the promotion round to the Gauliga.   In the promotion round itself  two victories against the  Fußballgemeinschaft Salzburg  and a draw against SK Amateure Steyr were only enough for second place behind Steyer.
