First commercial event of FC Blau Weiss Linz – FC Blau-Weiß Linz

On Wednesday 8 November, the first business event of FC Blau-Weiß Linz was held in the evening at the Leeb car dealership in Wels. Our business partners are invited to an exclusive networking event with a diverse support programme. FC Blau-Weiß Linz – Business Club aims to communicate and exchange partners. Whether it is in the fantastic atmosphere of the personal Hofmann Stadium on match day or at network events: FC Blau-Weiß Linz offers real added value to its business partners. We are very pleased that around 80 business figures accepted our invitation, including Managing Directors and representatives of our main sponsor LINZ AG and platinum partners (Liwest, Brauunion / Linzer Bier, Gasteiner, Autohaus Leeb, Hofmann Personal, Airport Linz). In addition to many decision makers from sponsors and partners.

The evening was hosted by press speaker Laura Renner, who brought Autohaus Leeb Managing Director Stefan Leeb to the stage at the start of the event to deliver welcome remarks. This was followed by interviews with FC Blau-Weiß Linz Managing Director Christoph Peschek, Sporting Director Christoph Schösswender and Captain Michael Brandner. Christoph Peszek highlighted the club’s growth strategy and the importance attached to such events and provided interesting information about the club’s economic goals before Christoph Schoffender spoke about sporting development. Captain Michael Brandner took a look with us at the upcoming Linz City derby at the Hofmann Personal Stadium and gave us an insight into the team’s preparations and expectations.

This evening was also used again to present the FC Blau-Weiß Linz Business Club team, composed of Patrick Vormeier, Helmut Mitter and Christian Berthaler. The highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by former national team goalkeeper Helge Baer, ​​now ORF TV coach. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” was the theme of the keynote, which the attendees were able to gain greatly from in their personal and professional areas.

Before the rest of the evening was dedicated to networking, our mobility partner set up a lib ‘Italoball’ challenge. Guests can try hitting a softball through the trunk, roof, or through the side window of a Fiat 500 convertible. For every shot, there were three points, two points, and one point. Naturally, our captain Mischi Brandner started things off by scoring two goals. For a long time it looked as if the winner would be Michael Brandner. But in the end he was beaten by Stefan Ganser, managing director of Sperer. They both took home a bottle of champagne as a gift.

We would like to thank all our business partners for a successful evening and their valuable support for FC Blau-Weiß Linz!
