No home comeback

Weather chaos also slows down the women’s handball team

Torrential rain, snow at higher altitudes and gale-force winds: the upcoming weekend promises to be uncomfortable. In view of this, ÖBB, among others, has issued a travel warning, which now also has an impact on domestic sport.

After a year in the second tier, the ladies of SSV Dornbirn Schoren were supposed to make their home comeback in the WHA Champions League on Saturday against WAT Atzgersdorf. However, the game has been canceled due to the ÖBB travel warning - caused by the capricious weather conditions in eastern Austria - meaning that the Viennese women are spared the long journey - at least for the time being. A decision that the Austrian Handball Federation (ÖHB) announced to the clubs on Friday afternoon.

But not only the home game of Dornbirn on Saturday has been canceled, but also the home game between BW Feldkirch and Union Korneuburg. It remains to be seen when exactly the games will be rescheduled.
