Soon to be Europe-wide?
“I compare the ACSL to the Champions League”
Kick-off for the new ACSL (Austrian College Sports League) season. Almost 7,000 students made the pilgrimage to the Hohe Warte last Saturday to kick off the new football season. In addition to performances by the in-house marching band, the ACSL cheer dancers and several half-time acts, football fans were once again treated to two top-class games.
The opening match was a direct clash between last year's finalists. This time, however, it was the WU Tigers who had the better day and brought the Uni Vienna Emperors to their knees with a 28:7 victory.
A result that obviously inspired the TU Robots, who also defeated the Boku Beez 28:7 in the second game of the day.
"Our superpower is the sense of belonging"
In an interview with krone.at, founder and managing director Lawrence Gimeno made it clear that the ACSL is not just about sport. "I compare the ACSL in Europe to the Champions League," the WU graduate believes in the potential to inspire students across Europe for the college league. The decisive factor? "Our superpower is the sense of belonging. Most of the people who are here have never seen football live, but they feel the spirit," says Gimeno.
