New stadium for the Vienna Sports Club: A victory for Hernals!
On June 5, 2025, the same celebration for the new stadium of the Vienna Sports Club at the Sport Club Platz in Hernals took place. This celebration, in the representative of the city of Vienna, the Vienna Sports Club as well as partners and sponsors, marked an important step in the realization of the project. The shell of the new stadium has now been reached and the reopening is planned for spring 2026. Sports City Councilor Peter Hacker spoke at the celebration of the values of tradition, innovation and sustainability that shape the project. He emphasized the importance of a resource -saving sports infrastructure that enriches not only Vienna Sport, but also the entire community.
The removal of the old main and cemetery stands began in June 2024. Since then, the new grandstand foundations and concrete supports have been visible and show the way to the future sports facility. Vienna Holding Managing Director Kurt Gollowitzer emphasized how important the new sports club is space for international and diverse sport in the city. The multifunctional character of the stadium not only enables Football, but also rugby, American football and games of the women's national team. This makes the stadium a central point of contact for various sports.
architectural and technical requirements
The stadium is built according to ambitious sustainability criteria, with climate-active certification being sought. The equipment of the stadium is also aligned according to UEFA category 2, which represents a strong impulse for popular sports in Vienna. The stadium's capacity is 5,500 spectators in national and 4,500 in international encounters. With the planned structural completion at the end of 2025 and complete commissioning in the second quarter of 2026, an important chapter is opened in the sports infrastructure.
The project is implemented by WIP Wiener Infrastructure Projekt GmbH, which is part of the Vienna Holding subsidiary WSE Wiener Lockeeport Development GmbH. Managing Director Oliver Stribl underlined the historical importance of the NeubaCrecungens and the responsibility associated with the creation of such sports facilities. The stage will take on a pioneering role in Vienna's sports events and support cooperation with specialist associations and districts in the sense of a low -threshold access to sports facilities.
sporting diversity in Vienna
The city of Vienna is already actively promoting the creation of diverse sports facilities and attaches particular importance to low -threshold access to sports facilities. Cooperation with specialist associations and the Sport Wien department ensure comprehensive planning, which also includes the education sector. The “Sport.2030” program has the goal of improving the sports infrastructure, modernizing existing facilities and building new sports facilities that are accessible to all Viennese.
The measures to promote popular sports contribute to health promotion and “healthy aging”. In addition, digitization is initiated to implement a digital booking process for sports facilities. The “MeinSportplatz.at” platform should be available both sports clubs and interested citizens. New programs such as "daily movement unit" in schools should also promote physical activity and support social awareness through events such as "3 × 3 basketball".
In summary, it can be said that the new stadium of the Vienna Sports Club will not only become an architectural highlight, but also a symbol of the diverse and future-oriented sport initiatives in Vienna. The Sport-Club Platz becomes a center for national and international sport that is supposed to combine generations and promote love for sport.
