SV OBERWART

Squad planning still on hold

The uncertainty in the table does not give SV Oberwart any certainty when it comes to personnel. For now. After all, the theoretical goal of staying in the Eastern League should soon give way to the practical goal of closing all the "construction sites" in the team.

Eight points ahead of third-but-last Mauerwerk with four games remaining. Realistically speaking, Oberwart have secured their place in the Ostliga. In mathematical terms, however, this remains open. Which is why the uncertainty in the table is also affecting the planning of the squad. "One or two players are keeping a low profile. But it's also logical if the league we're going to play in isn't fixed yet," says sporting director Peter Lehner. 
Selective reinforcements
The fact is, however, that the team will largely be retained. "There will also be one or two reinforcements. Selectively, in order to have even more quality across the board." Postscript: "First of all, however, the full focus is on staying in the league.

For ex-professionals such as Farkas, Huber and Co., SVO is literally a regional "port of call". "Quite a few players in the squad have a connection to the area or even come from Oberwart," says Lehner. They "definitely want to continue on this path".
