While the KURIER is already there, the national team could not arrive on Thursday as planned.
Because there are always strong storms in the middle of the Atlantic in the Faroe Islands, visiting teams and referees do not have to arrive one day before the game, as usual, but two. As it turned out on Thursday, this is a sensible rule.
This time it hit Austria's team. As the ÖFB announced, it was not possible to land at Vagar Airport in the Faroe Islands on Thursday, fog and wind caused problems. Here is the opinion of the association:
“The national team cannot start the trip to the World Cup qualifier on the Faroe Islands as planned on Thursday. Due to adverse weather conditions on site, which would not have allowed a landing, the team returned to the hotel after waiting two and a half hours at Vienna Airport The journey will now take place tomorrow, Friday.
A precise schedule will be announced after it has been fixed. “
