Public Viewing in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland: Where the World Cup Match Austria vs. Spain Will Be Broadcast

A special atmosphere is also offered by the flash Café bouldering hall in the 20th district. The match will be broadcast on a 3 x 2 meter LED wall, admission is free and there is space for around 500 guests. Doors open at 7 pm, before kickoff at 9 pm.

ÖFB Campus and Donauturm

The Austrian Football Association (ÖFB) itself also steps up as a host. The first knockout match involving Austria since 1954 will be shown at the ÖFB Campus, with a total of nearly 1,000 places available according to the ÖFB. Kickoff is at 9 pm, with admission from 7 or 8 pm respectively.

Head for the heights at the Donauturm: Easily reached via the U1 to Alte Donau or Kaisermühlen-VIC as well as the U6 to Neue Donau, the Donauturm invites fans to a public viewing surrounded by greenery. From 6 pm, the gastronomy outlets provide culinary accompaniment, before kickoff at 9 pm.

In the 8th district, the Palais Freiluft shows selected matches on a large LED wall in the garden of the Palais Auersperg. Also in Vienna, the Gleis//Garten invites fans to watch selected World Cup matches on an XXL screen.

Neighborhood Atmosphere and Open-Air Cinemas

Those who prefer a neighborhood vibe will find what they're looking for in the 9th district: At Julius-Tandler-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna, public viewing tickets provide a local atmosphere. Another address in the capital is Trautsongasse 1b, 1080 Vienna, where remaining tickets are being raffled off.

Beyond Vienna's city limits, Lower Austria and Burgenland also invite fans to a shared football evening. In Burgenland, after the tennis matches, the Center Court of the Sporthotel Kurz is transformed into a fan zone: Matches are broadcast live on a 21 square meter LED screen, accompanied by stadium sound and food and drink offerings.

Burgenland and Lower Austria

In Lower Austria, the city of Wiener Neustadt invites fans to the city's biggest public viewing in the Stadtpark. The municipality of Gänserndorf also invites fans to a public viewing at 9 pm at the Rathausplatz, while the city of Waidhofen/Ybbs is organizing a public viewing at the Unterer Stadtplatz together with the bars YOURS and Bar27.

At the "Genusshütte" on the Mödlingbach, a large screen is set up as part of a public viewing; the hut is open from 4 pm and the pre-match program for the showdown, which kicks off at 9 pm, gets underway. For around 100 euros, an all-you-can-eat offer is available with finger food and pizza, as well as all-you-can-drink with beer, wine and soft drinks.

Fewer Offerings Than Usual

In Mattersburg, the match will be watched together at Stadiongasse 16, and there is also a viewing location in the Oberpullendorf district. In general, however, many public viewings have been canceled this year because a large portion of the matches take place at times that begin well after closing time.

The city officials, led by Silvia Drechsler, are convinced: "Gemeinsam für Österreich Daumen drücken ist einfach das Schönste bei einer solchen Großveranstaltung."
