Future of the post sports club in danger: Will it be broken after 100 years?

Hernals, Österreich - In Hernals, a worrying scenario is emerging for the PostSportverein. The lease agreement between Post AG and the association, which has existed for over 100 years, expires in 2027 and will not be extended. This message causes great unrest among the club members, because without a new agreement, the board of directors around chairman Felix Weigel sees the existence of the association seriously. In order to prevent the impending loss, the association plans to talk to politics and Post AG. Hernals' People's Party has a clear message: Sports City Councilor Peter Hacker from the SPÖ is urged to work to maintain sports use without compromise.

It is clear that the post sports club is an important institution in the district. With over 1,000 children and adolescents who are active in twelve sections and 23 soccer teams, the club square is a central place for sporting activities in the region. Section manager Josef Putz warns that the end of post -sports history is getting closer if no solution is found. City councilor Kasia Greco from the ÖVP emphasizes how important this training location is for the community - both for children and for adults. A joint appeal by the People's Party to the sports city council calls for securing the sports facility and granting perspectives for the athletes.

regional sports landscape under pressure

The situation of the post sports club highlights the challenges with which many sports clubs are confronted in Vienna. Sport not only forms an important part of social interaction, but is also a necessary cornerstone for health and integration. There are a total of around 190 clubs in Vienna that belong to the Vienna Sports Union, while the Wiener Sportverband Wat represented over 50 clubs. This number shows how diverse the local sports offer is and how important it is to promote and support such institutions, especially in honor of sports lived.

Another important player in the Vienna sports landscape is the disabled sports association, which with its integrative approach makes an enormous contribution and also relieves the healthcare system. Disabled sport includes rehabilitation sport, popular sports and competitive sports and is crucial for the promotion of self -confidence and urge to will in sporty people with impairments.

The upcoming discussions between the PostSportverein, Politics and Post AG will show whether it will be possible to preserve the club from the end. For many athletes in Hernals, there is more than just a sports field at the game - it is about the future of a community that is characterized by joint sport and joy in cooperation. Time is forced, and everyone involved is required to act in order not only to preserve the sporting landscape in Vienna, but also to actively design.
