Power struggle in the ÖFB: Who will be the new president? Excitement before choosing!

Wien, Österreich - On March 30, 2025, Alina Zellhofer will present the relevant topics in the ÖFB in the program “Sport am Sonntag”. A central topic will be the current power poker in the Austrian Football Association (ÖFB). The Presidium is divided and is looking for a new leadership, which causes unrest before the upcoming nomination of the presidential candidates. There are questions about the future orientation of the ÖFB and the appointment of a new association boss. These developments are considered by the fans and experts.

In addition, a look at the sobering record of domestic skiing is taken in the show. After the worst season in 40 years, the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) sees urgent need for action. A guest in the studio will be ÖSV Alpin boss Herbert Mandl and ski expert Thomas Sykora, who will discuss solutions and new impulses. The overall World Cup winner Daniel Tschofenig will also talk about his outstanding season in the record winter.

ÖFB reform in focus

The structural reform of the ÖFB, which was initiated under President Klaus Mitterdorfer in July 2023, is also the focus. This reform was decided by the 13-member presidium, consisting of the president of the state associations and Bundesliga representatives, with a two-thirds majority. Mitterdorfer Plante to install Christian Ebenbauer as CEO, but he canceled. The previous managing directors, Thomas Hollerer and Bernhard Neuhold, were released on the basis of internal conflicts.

The reform provides for a three -member full -time management, consisting of a managing director for economy and one for sport. This structure is already practiced by other successful clubs such as Rapid. In connection with these changes, there is an open power struggle in the ÖFB in which team boss Ralf Rangnick is involved. Some presidents of the state associations criticize Rangnick's reform efforts and put their own interests in the foreground.

power struggles and presidential election

The power struggle in the ÖFB is also evident in the current election period, since an election committee selects the candidates for the presidential office. These candidates have to present themselves in a hearing before voting on the new president at the general meeting on May 18. Johannes Wutzlhofer, President of the Burgenland Association, is the favorite for the presidential office. To be elected, he needs seven of the 13 presidium votes and already has four votes.

The Bundesliga representatives could play a crucial role in the election. They have three votes and could have a decisive influence on closed votes. Rangnick is regarded as a reformer, but faces considerable resistance within the association, since there are constant efforts by state presidents to tip the reform and maintain the power of the president.

The upcoming program "Sport am Sonntag" will therefore not only address the unrest around the presidential election, but also the challenges that the ÖFB faces in the future. The audience can look forward to the interesting discussions and insights into the current events of the ÖFB.
