Due to MotoGP! Sturm's opponent Rennes cannot sleep in Graz

SK Sturm Graz will kick off their UEFA Europa League campaign next Thursday against Stade Rennais in front of their home fans (from 9:00 PM in the LIVE ticker >>>).

An extremely unusual away trip awaits the French side. As reported by "Ouest-France", they were unable to find suitable accommodation.

The reason for this is the Motorcycle Grand Prix in Spielberg taking place the weekend after the EL match. As a result, almost all hotels are fully booked.

Training Camp in Slovenia

Accordingly, the club decided to stay overnight abroad. They are accommodated in Maribor, Slovenia. The bus journey to Graz takes approximately one hour.

They plan to spend a three-day camp there and then fly directly to their away league match in Lyon (Saturday).
