Statement: Wishing you all a warm welcome!
As Head of the County Authority and sports speaker for the county of Upper Austria I would like to heartily welcome all participants to the Upper Austria Cup. You have all come together for a week to play football, to compete for your teams and to represent your countries as best as you can and of course to start new friendships.
The aim of sport is two-fold. For one you want to measure yourself, in a fair competition, and to test your own performance. On the other hand sport is also always something that connects, especially when it is an international tournament.
This is especially so for the Upper Austria Cup which is a meeting place for young football players from Austria and from abroad. I am convinced that this tournament will allow people to get to know and appreciate each other and that sport will bring together different cultures in its own unique way.
I would therefore especially like to greet all the guests who have come from abroad, be it near or far. But also those who have come from Upper Austria and Austria. With this in mind I heartily want to greet you all in Upper Austria and wish you a lot of success at the Upper Austria Cup.
