Jagerhofer postpones
Main sponsor cancels! Carinthia comeback canceled
Hannes Jagerhofer has to cancel his Carinthia comeback! He had originally planned to return to Pörtschach and Velden with the Multisport Series from July 22 to 27, 2025, but has now postponed the four-sport spectacle to 2026. The reason: his main sponsor canceled at short notice.
Hannes Jagerhofer has been planning his return to Carinthia for 2025 for months, he wanted to return to Lake Wörthersee with four sports, including beach volleyball. The comeback would have cost 6.2 million euros, but now he has to postpone the tour until 2026.
"Main sponsor A1 canceled at short notice, they have been a sponsor of beach volleyball for 24 years and would have financed a large part of it in Carinthia," says Jagerhofer. "They asked me to postpone the event until 2026. I have to do that now too." A1 is also involved in the Ski World Championships in Saalbach, and the new budget plans would not allow for an event at Lake Wörthersee.
Jagerhofer also wanted to bring the climbing, water skiing and wakeboarding elite to Pörtschach and Velden, and now local heroes are also stabbing him in the back. He wanted to host beach volleyball in the famous Werzer Arena in Pörtschach. Now, however, Mayor Silvia Häusl-Benz (VP) has reintroduced the entertainment tax. "I would have had to pay 25 percent of the revenue. That's how you kill managers," says Jagerhofer.
"The event will take place in 2026," promises Jagerhofer. But where has not yet been decided. He actually wanted to go on a world tour in 2026 with the multi-sports series with several events. "That is still alive. Spain is also very interested in 2026," says Jagerhofer. Many smaller sponsors remain on board.
Tickets will be refunded
"As a long-standing partner, we are naturally very disappointed that the event will not take place in 2025, but we will definitely be back in 2026," says Wayne Griffith, CEO of Cupra. Rauch is also involved as a sponsor: "As a partner from the very beginning, we very much regret the cancellation and are already looking forward to the continuation," says Managing Director Daniel Wüstner.
