Vienna club leader keeps promise to family
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Kurt Lanscha has dedicated 46 years to Stadtligist 1980 Wien, a Vienna, Austria football club.
He began playing as a goalkeeper for 14 years and has served as the club’s chairman since 1986. Lanscha took on the role after his uncle, the previous chairman, passed away, making a commitment to continue caring for the club. Lanscha explained that the club’s location near a subway line presents a constant challenge with lost footballs.
He noted the six-meter-high fence surrounding the pitch isn’t enough to keep balls from flying onto the tracks. Like many Austrian goalkeepers, Lanscha described himself as strong on the goal line but weak against crosses during his playing days.
