32 junior football clubs from all over Upper Austria came to the Josko Arena on Sunday evening for the Bundesliga match between SV Guntamatic Ried and WSG Tirol.
The young footballers, club officials and accompanying persons were invited as part of a cooperation between SV Ried and the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten.
“It’s really great that so many teams came to the Josko Arena on Sunday evening. We want to use this to bring the young fans closer to the atmosphere in the stadium here in Ried. Of course we hope that the youngsters will have a taste for it and soon come to a Rieder home game again,” says SV Ried marketing manager Tim Entenfellner.
“It was really a great experience for our young players. For some it was their first ever visit to the stadium,” says youth coach Johannes Karrer from Union Taiskirchen, who came to the stadium with 18 players from the U10 and U11 teams and six coaches.
Small drop of bitterness: The Rieder lost unluckily with 1:2. “Hopefully we’ll win the second edition of the joint fan campaign,” says Marketing Manager Entenfellner. This is planned for the spring season of 2023.
