The ÖLV cited the lack of certification of the hall for meetings of the World Athletics and Challenger Tour as the main reason for the cancellation of the event planned for February 2nd.
The recently drawn and simultaneously scheduled ÖFB Cup quarter-final between LASK and Salzburg in the adjacent Raiffeisen Arena also influenced the cancellation.
According to ÖLV, the approval of the aging hall surface expires at the end of 2023. Regarding the renovation, discussions have been started between the Upper Austrian Association and the state of Upper Austria and the city of Linz. The aim is to revive the meeting in 2025.
