Today the Lower Austrians celebrate their group stage debut in Wolfsburg (6.45 p.m.) in the premier class after the charter plane had brought them safely from Hörsching to Braunschweig yesterday. Under normal circumstances, Wolfsburg should be in a class of their own, with AS Roma and Slavia Prague facing different opponents in the race for a promotion spot. In addition to the winners of the four groups, the respective runners-up now also advance to the quarter-finals. The Lower Austrians were already in the round of the top 16 (2020/21), but at that time they played in a different format.
A win for women is worth a UEFA bonus of €50,000, with each club collecting €400,000 just for appearing in the group stage. The SKN will not become rich as a result. After all, thanks to the additional funds, the budget will exceed the million mark, said President Wilfried Schmaus. The game will not be played in the VW Arena today, but in the 5,000-seat AOK Stadium.
