Viking Anton Wegan
“It’s the right time”
Anton Wegan is back with the Vienna Vikings in the European League of Football. In an interview with the "Krone", he reveals how it came about, where he relaxes best and when he will make his first appearance for the Vikings again.
On Saturday (18), the Vienna Vikings play host to the Helvetic Mercenaries in Kriens near Lucerne on Lake Lucerne in the European League of Football (ELF), aiming for their eleventh win in the eleventh game of the current season. A formality, at least on paper.
Fan favorite Anton Wegan will not yet be able to contribute to the victory. The running back signed with the Vikings just before the end of the transfer period. "Coach Calaycay kept asking me to come back. Now we've decided it's the right time. For me too, as it's not a full season," the 28-year-old told the Krone. He won the ELF title with the Vikings in 2022 and became European champion with the national team in 2023. "That was my last game so far, I haven't worn a helmet or shoulder pads since then."
Anton, who enjoys relaxing on walks with his two dogs along the Fischa river, works for the AFBÖ football association, where he is responsible for the national teams. "It's different training on the pitch than if you just go to the gym."
In addition to training, there is also the playbook to study. After the upcoming bye-week, Wegan should make his first appearance in the last game of the basic round in Wr. Neustadt against Fehervar.
