The traditional club UTC Wolfurt faces an existential threat, since a planned construction project endangers the site of the tennis facility in Wolfurt-Bahnhof, Vorarlberg. The President of the Association, Dalibor Susic, recently expressed that the association was left alone by the municipality after the project of a craft business on the current tennis site became known. The association, which has been successfully active in the region for 37 years, has hired the youth work because the future appears uncertain and there are no guarantees for the continuation.

Although the municipality has signaled that support could be provided, it remains to be focused on the youth work, it has so far not been able to offer an alternative place for the tennis facility. Susic emphasizes that the club itself comes up for the lease, but in a reduced form. In addition, a funding application from the association was rejected, which further tightened the Situation.

an appeal to politics

Against the background of these difficult circumstances, Susic appeals to the political decision -makers to find a solution as soon as possible. The UTC Wolfurt is ready to fight and is actively looking for a new property to continue the tennis facility. The uncertainty about the future situation not only ensures internal tensions, but also triggered a wave of concern among members.

The neighboring clubs have already been informed and have offered support by being ready to accept members of the UTC Wolfurt if the club actually has to give up. Tennis is a long tradition in this region and the fear that such an association like UTC Wolfurt could no longer exist is a reason for many.

the club profile

The UTC Wolfurt is located at the address Inselstr. 6a, 6960 Wolfurt train station and is open between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. from Monday to Saturday. Despite the difficult situation, the association tries to regularly update information and has contact options via phone and fax. Further information can also be found on the website of the UTC Wolfurt. In summary, it can be said that the future of UTC Wolfurt is uncertain. If the municipality does not act or do not offer any alternatives, the club could soon be faced with what would be a significant loss for the region.
