Austria's women's football team misses EM qualification dramatically!

Wien, Österreich - A football elend for the Austrian national women's team! After a dramatic defeat in the play-off against Poland, the Austrians missed the European Championship qualification for the third time in a row. The first leg in Poland already ended unhappily with 0: 1, and also in the decisive second leg in the viola arena in Vienna, the players around captain Sarah Puntigam had to give up again. Despite the support of 3,200 fans, the team failed to avert the impending danger. The decisive goal was scored in added time by the Polish striker Ewa Pajor, who thus burst the dream of a further participation in the European Championship for Austria. The Austrian women's team, which has been successful in recent years, must now stand by, while Poland qualified for a big tournament for the first time, such as oe24.at reported.

World Cup highlights and transmissions

While the Austrian women experience a painful end, the upcoming sporting events are still in focus. The FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand will be held between July 20 and August 20, 2023. The games are broadcast live on ARD and ZDF, which allows fans to follow the games up close. Between 32 participants, Germany also competes in Group H on Morocco, Colombia and South Korea. The critics of FIFA, who doubted the right of rights due to low TV offers, are in contrast to the expectations of the German team, which, after two World Cup titles in the past, hopes for a strong performance, as Sport.sky.de reported.

The anticipation for the opening game between New Zealand and Norway in Auckland is great, while Germany is preparing for a demanding tournament. On August 20, 2023, the final in the Australia stage will take place in Sydney, and the entire football world will look forward to the appearances of the athletes. The coming weeks will promise international football feeling, even if Austria has to wait painfully for the next big tournament.
