High-ranking official of the SPG Ladies: Shock threat with weapon!

In Vorarlberg women's football, shocking allegations that move the entire team and the responsible association into a scandal. A former high-ranking official of the women's Bundesliga team Dornbirn/Lustenau is said to have threatened several players with a firearm in a worrying incident. According to reports, this incident should have taken place during a meeting before an important game. In the cabin, the official should not only show the weapon, but also expressed an unmistakable threat in drastic words: If the team does not win, he would like to use the weapon. In order to underpin the threat, he even put cartridges on the table, such as OE24 reported.

The reaction of the players was immediately and decided: five players immediately terminated their contracts with the association and left the association fleeing. These courageous steps followed the threat of the official, which also offered a bet over 500 euros, in which the players should pay this amount to the association in the event of a defeat. This shock wave also attracted the attention of the police, which has now initiated criminal investigations against the responsible officials. FC Dornbirn immediately reacted to the allegations and made it clear that the accused official was no longer held and removed from the register of associations, according to vorarlberg.orf .

Investigations and responsibility

The responsible persons of the two clubs, which also include FC Lustenau, emphasize the importance of transparent clarification of the incident and announced their close cooperation with the authorities. They clearly distanced themselves from the allegations and assured that neither mental nor physical violence in sports or in society would be tolerated. Chairman Gerhard Oilz underlined that the entire allegations are disputed by the accused official, but the mutual agreement was made to remove all functions in order to avoid a possible burden on the clubs.

The time proximity of the incident is particularly explosive for a recently canceled derby game between SCR Altach and the SPG FC Lustenau/FC Dornbirn Ladies, which raises questions about possible relationships. The cancellation was officially justified due to unplayable space due to snow, but the current accusations could indicate deeper problems. However, the presumption of innocence applies.
