Centennial of FK Austria Wien

July 30th, 2011

The Grand Hotel Wien is playing football - or, depending where you come from, soccer. The hotel has teamed up with one of Austria's most successful football clubs, FK Austria Wien. The Grand Hotel team is taking care of all of the catering needs of the venerable club in southern Vienna and is their official hotel for home games. On the occasion of this internationally successful club's one hundredth birthday, the team competed against the all-stars of ex-soccer star Luis Figo's Foundation on June 17^th. For the benefit game, the crème de la crème of international football could be welcomed in Vienna and the Grand Hotel Wien. Louis Figo, Ronaldo, Patrick Vieira, and many others came to play in this friendship match for charity. In the end Luis Figo's all star team was beaten by the Wiener Austria even though they played in a Grand Hotel jersey. This, however,  did not detract in the least from the good mood and party atmosphere.
