Winter has arrived in Austria and not only caused major problems in road traffic. In the Admiral Bundesliga, all Saturday games fell victim to the weather chaos. Due to “massive snowfall” and the “unplayability of the pitch”, the duels WSG Tirol – Rapid, Red Bull Salzburg – Pellets WAC and Austria Klagenfurt – Egger Glas Hartberg have been canceled. The Cashpoint Altach – Austria Lustenau duel scheduled for Sunday was also canceled. The league announced this after the venues had been pre-commissioned.
“Unfortunately, today’s game had to be canceled due to heavy snowfall. We are now working with the Bundesliga and SK Rapid to reschedule the game as soon as possible,” said Julian Heiss, Managing Director of Economic Affairs at WSG Tirol. While there is still no catch-up date for the games in Innsbruck, Klagenfurt and Altach, the league has already scheduled Salzburg against WAC for this Sunday (2.30 p.m.).
Speaking of Sunday: A lot of helping hands will probably be needed before the duel between Blau-Weiß Linz and Sturm at 2:30 p.m. “Everyone is invited to help us clear the snow in the stadium so that the match against Sturm Graz can take place. We look forward to your support! Please also bring your snow shovel with you,” wrote the newcomer on social networks on Saturday. The meeting point is at 7 a.m. in front of the Hofmann Personal Stadium.
Vienna Austria is confident before the duel against LASK (5 p.m.). On Saturday there was ongoing work on the lawn in Vienna-Favoriten, and from the “Veilchen” perspective there should be no problems on Sunday with the help of the lawn heating.
Three cancellations in the 2nd league
There were also three cancellations in the 2nd league. The game between Vienna and Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz could not take place on Saturday, and the duels scheduled for Sunday between Guntamtic Ried and Floridsdorfer AC (10.30) and Mohren Dornbirn against Liefering (12.30) also had to be postponed due to the weather conditions.
