Hannes Wolf inspires NYCFC with gala performance and touching message
On June 13, 2025, Hannes Wolf, the Austrian winger of New York City FC, impressed with an outstanding performance in Major League Soccer (MLS). In the Eastern Conference Round 18 game, he led his team to an impressive 4-0 win against Atlanta United. Wolf, who was previously signed by Borussia Mönchengladbach, is once again showing his class and increasing his goal tally this season to a total of eight goals and two assists.
In the first half, Wolf set up Maxi Moralez's opening goal in the 44th minute. His performance in the second half is particularly remarkable, where he scored two goals in just two minutes - first in the 57th minute and then in the 59th minute, scoring a brace and making the final score 4-0.
For peace and remembrance
When celebrating after his second goal, Wolf wore a T-shirt with the message: "For the victims. For peace. For Graz." This gesture is a sign of honor for the victims of a tragic shooting spree in his hometown of Graz. Wolf, who is 24 years old and brings experience from the Bundesliga as well as international competitions such as the Champions League and Europa League, has quickly become a key figure for New York City FC.
He played 238 professional games in which he scored 51 goals and 40 assists. He also previously played for RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga and Swansea City in the Championship. Wolf was part of the Austrian U-21 national team and is currently waiting for his debut with the senior national team.
Future Prospects for NYCFC
Hannes Wolf's performances are a bright spot for New York City FC as they seek a return to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in 2024 after a disappointing season in which they finished 11th in the Eastern Conference. With a contract until the 2027 MLS season and the option for 2028, Wolf is well integrated into the team, where he plays alongside other talents such as Talles Magno and Julián Fernández. The new season begins for NYCFC on February 24th against Charlotte FC.
With his development so far and his commitment on and off the pitch, Wolf has impressed not only his fans, but also the entire football community. [Laola1].
