“It’s a good day for them Vienna Austria“, said CFO Harald Zagiczek relieved firmly. The days when violets had to appear bare-chested are over. From now on it will Aramark as new main sponsor can be seen prominently on the dresses. The catering company has been Austria’s gastro partner since the 2025/26 season, and the collaboration has now been expanded.

“It was a tough battle,” reports Zagiczek about the search for a new sponsor. Frankstahl left at fairly short notice, after which negotiations began with possible successors. Not an easy task. Flyeralarm is said to have offered well under one million euros – not enough for the purple bosses. It was accepted that the season would begin without a main sponsor. However, there should have been no financial losses. Zagiczek: “There was a visibility gap, but not a financial gap.” The package that was put together with Aramark is expected to bring Austria well over one million euros. And also more than the deal with predecessor Frankstahl.

The Violets will appear with the new sponsor on their chest for the first time on Thursday in the second leg against Beitar Jerusalem. Clothes for the fans were also reprinted immediately after the signature. The first ones should be sold on Thursday.
