The Green Mark as a sporting region: Whether football, skiing or Formula 1, Styria is enthusiastic about countless major events. In their new book, two historians show that sport is also a huge economic factor and that athletes’ addiction to fame and honor dates back to ancient times.
Sport gets the masses moving! It wasn’t until May 1 that the phenomenon became impressive: thousands of Styrians made a pilgrimage to Klagenfurt to witness the cup final up close and cheer on Sturm Graz. The fact that the GAK is about to make a comeback in the Bundesliga further fuels the football fever in Graz. Not to mention the European Championships just around the corner.
