SV Ried to host GAK in Admiral Bundesliga match

SV Ried is set to host GAK in the fourth round of the Admiral Bundesliga on Friday, August 21, at the BWT X Oberösterreichische Arena. SV Ried aims to secure its first victory of the season, with head coach Mario Despotovic expressing a desire for a dominant home performance.

GAK enters the match seeking to recover from a heavy 0-8 defeat against Rapid. Following that loss, interim coach Joachim Standfest has taken charge after the previous manager was relieved of his duties. Standfest, who has stepped up from his role as assistant, emphasized that the squad remains intact and is working to move past the recent setback.

The match also features a personal narrative for SV Ried defender Oliver Sorg, who previously played in the GAK youth system. The event will include participation from over 700 youth players from more than 30 clubs across Upper Austria.
