The deadline for submitting license documents for the 2nd league ends next Monday (March 4th). Austria Salzburg has not yet ticked off the necessary points for this. Fix: It’s a race against time.
It was clear months ago that submitting Austria Salzburg’s license documents for promotion to the 2nd league would be a race against time. It doesn’t change anything that the deadline doesn’t end on March 15th, as initially believed, but on March 4th. So next Monday. But not all points have been checked off yet. The stadium in Maxglan needs adaptations in order to be suitable for Austrian professional football. In addition, there is still no written promise that the stands and floodlights can remain in place. It won’t be clear until March 7th. “We are currently experiencing great political support,” says chairman David Rettenbacher, who still wants to submit the documents on time and emphasizes: “We have already overcome a number of challenges in recent years. You should never write off Austria too early.” Regarding the stadium, a point in the admission regulations for the 2nd league could be crucial. If the renovation of the home stadium is only completed during the course of the season, another venue can be specified as a replacement for a certain period of time. Club withdrawsFix: Austria definitely needs a small miracle to fulfill its dream of professional football. And he still has to set the course in terms of sport. In this regard, as leaders of the Western League, we are at least on the right track. Meanwhile, Silz/Mötz announced that they would be withdrawing from the competition at the end of the season.
