The Post SV, Vienna’s largest amateur sports club based in Hernals, faces existential threats due to the recent re-auction of its 15-hectare sports facility by Austrian postal service company Post AG. The club has over 5,000 members, including 2,000 children and youth, and operates 15 sections with more than 100 teams. According to club board member Clemens Rarrel, the reorganization of the site into three parts, dividing profitable areas like tennis halls and beach volleyball courts from less lucrative community-focused areas, will lead to a loss of nearly €1 million in annual income. This would severely impact the club’s ability to maintain the facilities and fund youth programs. A petition supporting the club has already gathered nearly 26,000 signatures.
