European Championship match against Serbia
Platzgummer makes his comeback in the national football team
Sandro Platzgummer is strengthening the Austrian national football team's bid to defend their European Championship title.
The 27-year-old former NFL player will make his comeback on Saturday in Salzburg against Serbia (13:00). "In sporting terms, that obviously gives us new options," said Head Coach Max Sommer. "It certainly also speaks for our program that a player of his caliber, who was under contract with the New York Giants, wants to play for Austria."
Duel against Germany awaits
The AFBÖ team is the clear favorite against the Serbs, and a win will secure Sommer's team a ticket to the European Championship semi-finals. Germany could be their opponents in the final round in 2025. Platzgummer explained that he wanted to "take the next step with the team to achieve our goal: To finally defeat Germany at men's level at the European Championships." The Tyrolean played for Frankfurt Galaxy in the ELF this year.
