Brigitte Annerl: The favorite for the ÖFB presidential post!

Hartberg, Österreich - Brigitte Annerl, President of TSV Hartberg, is back in the spotlight after the recent events in football. Thanks to her diplomatic skill, riots by Rapid fans could be defused before the Bundesliga game against Hartberg, which earned her a lot of recognition-even from the opposing followers. These positive reactions have reinforced the desire for Annerl's candidacy for the office of ÖFB President, such as laola1.at reported.

candidate for the presidency?

The pressure on the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) is growing to check external candidates for the presidential election. Interim President Wolfgang Bartosch described Annerl as a suitable applicant. With a coalition of sponsors, including Raiffeisen-Bank, the first votes for an external choice have risen. Bartosch also explained that he could not make an application for naming Annerl, since there is still no approval from her page.

However, the tensions within the ÖFB remain. Vice President Gerhard Götschhofer plans to take legal action against Bartosch's past election. In the middle of these unrest, Annerl, as a potential president, seems to be increasingly gaining support. This could also influence the dynamics in the competition for power in the football association. Roland Schmid was also brought into play as an outsider for the office. The next few weeks will be crucial to secure majorities for the upcoming elections, such as Kurier.at reported.
