Potential on the pitch

38. Soccer Tournament for Employees of Styrian Universities - image: Uni Graz / Windischbacher

The 38th indoor soccer tournament for employees of Styrian Universities took place with the participation of physicists. We are looking for reinforcements for our soccer team.

For the first time, a team of sport enthusiasts from our institute has participated in the annual indoor soccer tournament for employees. Against all odds, our team finished in 6th place, actually being the 3rd best team out of 7 from our university! The victory was secured by the "Virtual Vehicle" group from the Technical University.

Nonetheless, we are proud to be better placed than experienced teams of sports scientists, jurists, biologists and the research management, showing that also "nerds" are skilled on the pitch. Most importantly, we have grown even closer together as a team representing the Institute of Physics.

If you are interested to help us getting better for next year, join our weekly training sessions!
