Criticism of Changes to the Austrian Fund

The VdF criticizes that the share of the proceeds from the sale of media rights will be halved from 20 to 10 percent, as well as the age limit. The new funding guidelines would be "pure distractions" in this regard, it was stated in a release on Thursday.

VdF: Changes to the Austrian Pot Endanger Experienced Austrian Leadership Players

From 2027, an age limit will apply to the Austrian pot. Playing minutes of domestic U22 players will then count triple, those of U24 players double, and those of U26 players single. Playing minutes of older players will no longer be financially considered. "The new distribution key only distracts from the devaluation and already discriminates against players in their mid-20s. The experienced Austrian leadership player is threatened with extinction," said Gernot Baumgartner, the chairman of the VdF, on this matter.
