Forest in the middle of Vienna
Chancellor with an “eco-gift” for our national team
On Thursday, our national team was given a ceremonial send-off by the head of state for the upcoming UEFA European Championship. Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Vice-Chancellor and Sports Minister Werner Kogler addressed the team at Heldenplatz in Vienna. The Chancellor gave them a special gift on top.
The Federal Chancellor had come up with something special for the national team's farewell ceremony on Thursday. In the heart of the capital, in Vienna's Augarten park, a tree is to be planted for each player and coach and given a nameplate. Specifically, these will be hornbeams. "These are trees that can grow up to 25 meters high and live for 150 years. A strong symbol of sustainability and growing together," says the Chancellery. A small forest is to be created.
"Giving your best"
The same office is apparently also hoping for lasting success at the ÖFB with this sustainable gift. Chancellor Nehammer adds: "Trees must be well rooted so that they can stand firm and grow tall. The players' roots are firmly planted in Austria, the country for which they are giving their best at this European Championship!"
