female football in the upswing
The focus was also on women's football as part of the festival. While women's football is on an ascending branch worldwide, players in Austria often have to get by with low fees of an average of 600 euros gross per month, while men earn over 8,000 euros. A fact that delivers a lot of conversation, especially with regard to the continuing challenges of prejudice and sexism within sport. The history of women's football in Austria shows a long development, which is characterized by milestones such as the foundation of the first Viennese women's football club "Diana" in 1924. These are just a few of the topics that take up reporting on women's football and remain relevant.The anniversary festival ended with a long party night, in which the visitors put together until late in the evening and enjoyed music. Another highlight is already in December: From December 26th to 30th, the 40th Generali Internationale Young Cup will be organized, which fans can look forward to.
For the Union fans, the anniversary remains a lasting memory, certainly shaped by the strong performance of the teams and the ceremonial of the day. If you want to experience part of the story, you also have the opportunity to acquire a limited anniversary subscription that offers free entry to all games of the Union teams in 2025 and is offered together with an extensive anniversary magazine.
