Rapid members vote against U21 Euro in Hütteldorf
At the Ordinary General Meeting, members voted against opening the Allianz Stadion. Rapid fear a fine if they attempt to withdraw.
The SK Rapid members in attendance have opposed potential matches being played at the Allianz Stadion in Hütteldorf during the UEFA Under-21 Euro 2029!
A corresponding motion was voted on at the club's Ordinary General Meeting on Saturday evening. With 224 to 140 votes, the outcome went against making the venue available for the ÖFB's bid.
Whether a retroactive withdrawal of the commitment made by the executive board is even possible remains unclear for now. The board fears a potential fine.
The Allianz Stadion is the largest venue in the ÖFB's bid for the finals, which will be awarded by UEFA on December 7. The only rival bidder is Spain.
"Kurier" quoted managing director Daniela Bauer as saying that four to five games are planned to be held at the stadium. Potential revenue from rent and catering would bring SK Rapid between 570,000 and 720,000 euros.
