Player Passport Cup
“Great to see this passion and joy”
The SPIELERPASS CUP presented by BILLA is being held for the seventh time this year. On an unprecedented scale, people with disabilities from five federal states will be competing at five different levels. This makes it the largest indoor soccer tournament of its kind in Austria and will once again provide plenty of fun for everyone involved on February 23.
Goals, jubilation, tears of joy - the previous tournaments of the SPIELERPASS CUP were not short on emotion. "That's exactly what this event is all about," says SPIELERPASS ambassador Stefan Maierhofer, looking forward to February 23. The former team player has been an enthusiastic participant for years and is delighted with the many moments of happiness among the participants. "It's great to see the passion, joy and emotion with which they play soccer. They even cheer goals scored by their opponents. It's all about the shared joy," says Maierhofer, who will once again be there as a referee. Other celebrities will also be blowing the whistle alongside him: Jimmy Hoffer, Austria's first female Bundesliga referee Sara Telek, Steffen Hofmann, Helge Payer and Jörg Siebenhandl and many more will be supporting the project on site.
A total of 25 teams will compete in five different levels. "This ranges from the under-18s to the seniors. 18 clubs will make up the 25 teams. That's a record field of participants, with teams from five federal states taking part," says organizer and SPIELERPASS initiator Nikolas Karner, delighted with the great response.
The hall chosen as the venue represents a return to the original venue. "We played in the Westside Soccer Arena in Vienna back in 2017 for the first edition. Back then with 6 teams. This time we moved there because the sports center in St. Pölten is still not usable after the floods in the summer."
