In a press release, Peter Stöger, Sporting Director of Austria Vienna, spoke about the current situation in the world of football. On March 7, almost six weeks ago, Austria Vienna and St. Pölten split 0-0. That could have been the last away game at the stadium, probably even for a long time.
This season may end ghost games, if it does, due to federal government requirements. Stöger: “We don’t know how long the virus and its consequences will keep us busy, but we are looking for solutions to be able to end the season with sport.”

“Many factors to consider”
Like almost all FK Austria Wien employees, the sports director is in the central office and is only in contact with the presidium, committees, employees or colleagues of the other Bundesliga clubs through video and conference calls. “This situation with the home office will probably stay that way for a long time,” says Stöger, who, like everyone else, is waiting for the ministry to issue the corresponding decree.
You should come on Monday and provide information on how to conduct small group trainings. These would also be possible on the following days. “But it is completely clear to us that the concept of security will continue to be with us for many weeks. I’m a guy who likes to work with people, but I’ll probably have to do without this in terms of proper risk management. There are many health factors to consider. “

“Find solutions for survival”
In any case, Stöger also longs for the season or training to continue soon. “Our job is to see what can be done with this regulation next week. And just to clarify: we do not want a special position as a football club, but we are active in a profession with a very large environment, not without importance. It is much more than if only 25 players can train or play. Therefore, it is also legitimate that we, as other professional groups, look for framework conditions to do the job. ”
Stöger categorically rejects a “Lex Bundesliga”. “With ghost games we could reduce financial losses a bit. We want to find solutions for our continued existence. And all this together and in coordination with politics and the authorities. We are trying to keep construction alive in a major crisis, but only with the tools that the government offers us, especially towards health. ”
