WAC vs Sturm Graz: Request for a later kick-off rejected

WAC therefore made a specific request to the fixture schedule. The club was interested in a later kick-off so that the timing of the match would better align with the church celebrations in Wolfsberg, Carinthia.

The fixture is part of the Austrian Bundesliga. Among the featured clubs, Wolfsberger AC and Sturm Graz are at the centre of the live ticker, which is switched on for matchday at 2:30 p.m.

The confirmed information does not indicate who rejected the request to postpone the kick-off. Nor is any reason given for the decision.

All Saints’ Day grave blessing ceremonies are part of religious tradition. WAC therefore wanted to move the original match start time later to avoid greater conflict with this occasion.

Match time remains unchanged

With the kick-off set for 2:30 p.m., the match takes place on the same day as the celebrations mentioned above. The available facts do not state whether any additional organisational arrangements apply.

Preview of matchday

On matchday itself, the respective fan and organisational questions surrounding the early kick-off and the simultaneous grave blessing ceremonies are likely to form an additional public focus. So far, the kick-off at 2:30 p.m. in Wolfsberg is the only confirmed detail.
