ÖFB boss Pröll on possible World Cup boycott: “Don’t think anything of it”

The attack of the USA and Israel on the Iran and the resulting crisis is also affecting football, towards the 2026 World Cup in the summer in the USA, Mexico and Canada. ÖFB supervisory board chairman Josef Pröll commented on the topic on ORF. “A lot of discussions have to be had, FIFA has to lead the way. There are currently discussions on many levels.”

However, it is far too early to be able to assess and assess where the current situation will lead. “We as the ÖFB must continue on our path and consistently pursue preparation for the World Cup.”

A boycott of the World Cup, as was at least being considered by the DFB in Germany, is definitely not up for discussion at the ÖFB. Pröll: “I don’t think so.” The former politician is in constant communication with the Foreign Ministry.

It is also important to insist on existing statutes and their compliance. “We will push for that. UEFA must also position itself for the European representatives. Now we have to show that we are capable of acting in this crisis.”

Sports and politics

Pröll also makes it clear that “everything we do is also political.” However, by this he does not mean classic party politics. “But it is clear that sport has a lot of politics in it. The organizations are now facing new challenges.”
