UW St. Stefan Ladies win exclusive training with Laura Wienroither!

An exciting event is waiting for the players of the UW St. Stefan Ladies! The team won the main prize at Segafredo Zanetti Austria's competition-an exclusive training with the ÖFB national player Laura Wienroither. This special event will take place on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the sports field in St. Stefan. Wienroither will not only bring the players closer to their knowledge and experiences from professional football, but also offer the opportunity to meet them personally. In addition, the team receives a jersey signed by Wienroither and can look forward to a supply of Segafredo coffee for their next club festival. Incidentally, Wienroither was active in the draw of the winning association and pulled the winning pot by hand.

The Wienroother, who has been moved to the English club Arsenal in 2022, has been on loan at Manchester City since the beginning of the year and thus brings a lot of experience to your training. The anticipation at UW St. St. Stefan Ladies could not be greater, because the opportunity to learn from such a renowned player is not only a nice win, but also a great motivation for the young talents.

return to the national team

Laura Wienroither will not only be supported by the young players in St. Stefan, but also has a return to the team training of the Austrian national team. After a surviving corona disease that she mastered with slight symptoms, she received the "green light" for training. Team boss Irene Fuhrmann confirmed that Wienroither is a valuable option for the upcoming European Championship game against Norway on Friday.

The way to recovery was not easy for Wienroither. She had to skip the team's last game against Northern Ireland, which was won 2-0 due to a positive test on Saturday. Before her positive test, she played through in the opening game against England (0: 1). Fortunately, the health examinations after several negative tests showed no abnormalities. However, the Corona topic remains a big topic for the team, because Katharina Nüschenweng has also been tested positively and shows slight symptoms while striker Lisa Kolb could not travel.

preparation for the tournament

In these uncertain times, the players are aware of their responsibility and test for symptoms to avoid clusters. While the UEFA does not order mandatory tests, the ÖFB has decided to also rely on tests for symptoms. Fuhrmann also expressed criticism of the UEFA, since only 23 players in the squad are permitted, while 26 players are allowed for men. She suspects that there could be financial reasons behind this decision.

On Friday, the ÖFB team only needs one point against Norway to secure participation in the next tournament phase. The competition is strong, but the players are well prepared and are happy if they can train again with Laura Wienroither.

For the UW St. Stefan Ladies and the ÖFB national team, the coming time is anything but boring. You can look forward to training with Wienroither and the challenges that come to the players in Puncto EM.
