Kapfenberg SV: Raising room or new relegation battle?

The Kapfenberger SV (KSV) shows its best side in the current season. Thanks to the drive of coach Ismail Atalan and Managing Director Robert Schäfer, the club not only established itself in the 2nd league, but also developed a clear vision for the future. [Kicker] reports that Kapfenberg now reached third place in the relegation battle.

As part of a collaboration with the investor Panna Football Partners who started a year ago, the KSV has reorganized itself. Atalan was recently named coach of the season, a sign of the positive development under his leadership. This is also evident in the impressive offensive of the team, which with 53 goals poses the third best offensive of the league. Schäfer also emphasizes the identity of the team and the promotion of young talents, since 14 players in the squad have an academy past.

The way to the Bundesliga

Kapfenberg pursues a clear three -year plan: the first season should serve as a basis, in the second season it is important to attack more intensively and in the third season the promotion is on the agenda. Atalan emphasizes the need to become more defensively stable and to improve the analysis of the goals in order to ensure long -term success. "We have to improve continuously, the promotion destination in the coming season is not the sole goal," says Atalan.

Digitization plays an important role in the development of the association. The KSV has introduced a digital payment system and an online shop, which improves interaction with fans and marketing products. [TechnaVigator] reports that similar digital approaches come into football clubs worldwide to optimize training methods and increase the audience experience.

the viral falcon dance

Among the fans of the KSV also causes a new cheering choreography, the "falcon dance". This is performed in the cabin after the games and brings a breath of fresh air to the celebrations. After the last 2-0 victory, a video of the dance on Instagram was released, which has already recorded 3.5 million views. [Krone] reports that the viral spread of the clip is partly thanks to the French rapper Kaaris, who shared the video on his story.

The enthusiasm for the "falcon dance" is also evident in the club's fan base, which now has over 50,000 followers on social media. The KSV has developed more than six million views in the last 30 days and continues to show that passion and team spirit are not only popular on the field, but also away from it.

Overall, the team around Atalan and Schäfer initiated an exciting phase of change. With a clear focus on development, digitization and fan binding, the Kapfenberger SV is on a promising path to play in the Bundesliga in five years. The motto remains: it makes no difference whether someone wears a Bavaria or a Kapfenberg jersey- the focus is on love for football.
