Band Football Cup 2023 was a complete success!

The Band Football Cup 2023 was an unforgettable event that brought together the Austrian music scene in a unique football tournament. Aiming to promote social engagement, violence prevention, and female empowerment, the tournament not only delivered sporting highlights but also sent a strong message of social responsibility.

At the end of the exciting tournament, Christopher Seiler’s team secured victory and took home the golden BFC trophy. Another major success of the event was the impressive sum of 20,000 euros raised for the Wiener Frauenhäuser association and the White Ribbon association.

Proud Partner

Mag. Vedrana Ceric, Head of Global Marketing at Adriatic Group, emphasized the significance of the event: “It’s impressive to see how music and sport come together to bring about positive change in society. As a proud partner of this event, we are thrilled by the response and the commitment of everyone involved.”

Roman Gregory, initiator of the Band Football Cup, also spoke positively about the collaboration with Brajlovic: “The participation of Brajlovic GmbH as a partner of the BFC 2023 underlines the shared values of our event. Their commitment to social responsibility and community is exemplary, and together we are sending a strong signal for violence prevention and female empowerment.”

The tournament, which took place at SV Donau in Vienna’s Donaustadt district, supported the Wiener Frauenhäuser association and White Ribbon. These organizations work tirelessly for protection against violence and its prevention, aiming to stop femicides in Austria.

An event like this wouldn’t be complete without Herbert “Schneckerl” Prohaska. Alongside Andi Ogris, Sara Telek, and Maria Wolf, he contributed significantly to fair play on the field.

Christopher Seiler wins

After many exciting matches and spectacular goals, the well-deserved winners were crowned in the evening: Christopher Seiler and his team, which included Chris Steger, Lizz Görgl, and many others. They secured victory with a confident 3:2.

The team received the unique golden BFC trophy, made from a recycled football boot donated by Hans Krankl and an old guitar donated by BFC initiator Roman Gregory.

The event was not just about sports and fun, but also sent a powerful message against violence toward women. To support those affected, generous donations totaling 20,000 euros were collected for the Wiener Frauenhäuser and White Ribbon associations. Roman Gregory proudly handed over this donation, which sends a strong signal against violence toward women.

“This money is a powerful statement against violence toward women! We hope that our passionate afternoon kick will help make the world a bit fairer and safer for women,” emphasized the BFC initiator. He thanked the players, the audience, and the partners and sponsors for their support. He gave special recognition to his partner Irena Blagojevic, the driving force behind the entire tournament, without whose tireless efforts the event would not have been possible.

Finally, we too would like to thank all those involved who made this day so special. It was an honor to be part of this great event and to work together for a better future.
