MITEINANDER! The second Vienna inclusion derby

It was a special highlight in terms of inclusion: Austria Vienna and Rapid took to the pitch at the Generali Arena. The motto of the second Vienna inclusion derby: Together instead of against each other! Viola TV shows the best pictures of a great event in Vienna-Favoriten.

The two teams were made up of players from the special needs teams, the women's and girls' teams as well as Special Olympics players and legends. Among others, Antea Batarilo and Lena Triendl and Lana Khalaf and Milena Zink were in action. Sports director Manuel Ortlechner and Stripfing sports director Alex Grünwald were also in attendance. The match was refereed by Austria's top referee Sara Telek. The special thing about the game was that the teams were mixed, with togetherness taking centre stage.

Thanks to the support of Coca-Cola, Verbund and Burgenland Energie, a true football festival was celebrated, proving that football is a team sport and that we are all connected at heart - regardless of gender, origin, disability or club affiliation. The proceeds from this event will benefit the two special needs teams of the clubs (1500 euros each) and the Special Olympics Austria (5000 euros).
