The winter conditions in Vorarlberg have unpleasant consequences for the football team Austria Lustenau. An exciting duel against SV Stripfing should take place this weekend, but the violent snowfalls resulted in a cancellation of the game. This was officially announced by the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The home game planned for Sunday afternoon, which was supposed to start at 10:30 a.m., could not be held due to the difficult space. The Situation was particularly tightened by the thick layer of snow in Bregenz. The place was checked in advance, but the Bundesliga made it clear that there was no prospect of improving the situation for the planned game. "In view of the current space, an improvement for tomorrow morning is not foreseeable," it said in the message.

Austrian football under winter influences

The cancellation is particularly unpleasant for Austria Lustenau, which, after relegation from the Bundesliga, still have difficulty finding their way around the 2nd league. After 13 games, the team only took eleventh place in the table with 17 points and, after several defeats, has lost the connection to the upper table positions. The team only achieved two defeats in the current season, but recently could not win in four games.

The league is now planning to announce a supplementary date for the unusual game so that the team can intervene again as soon as possible. While the Lustenau game break is not exactly cheap, it remains to be seen how the team will present itself next year.
