Since Monday, head coach Daniel Madlener has been preparing SK BMD Forward for the 2022/23 second division football season, in which the Steyrers want nothing to do with the relegation battle. The manageable financial resources (almost 1.4 million euros budget) do not allow for giant leaps, but the squad is slowly taking shape. With defender Silvio Apollonio (22) from the Young Violets, defender Nicolas Zdichynec (20) on loan from SV Ried, midfielder Kevin Sostarits (20) from Admira Juniors and homecomer Eman Lidan (16), there are four new players on board who are mostly allowed to compete with foreign clubs in the test phase. If you like, a touch of the European Cup blows over the red and white.
Yesterday in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, where Austria’s women’s national football team is preparing for the EURO in England, Vorwarts met Kalmar FF, sixth in the Swedish first division, and lost 0:3 (0:1). The Scandinavians, who won the championship in 2008, were last active in international business in 2012/13.
On July 8th (4.30 p.m.) the Steyr team in Obertraun will face a current participant in the Europa Conference League. We’re talking about fifth place in the Scottish Championship, Motherwell FC.
Three days earlier (July 5th, 5 p.m.) the German third division side FSV Zwickau will come to thewarts stadium. There will be “home cooking” tomorrow (6 p.m.) when Steyrer play away against SV Molln, who are ninth in the 1st class East.
