On Friday 24.02.2023, just 16 months after the construc­tion start, the opening of the Raif­feisen Arena - the new home of LASK - took place. The color PINK plays a major role!
.

LASK moved into its new home on Friday. The Raif­feisen Arena in Linz, which was raised in record time last year, shone in all its glory at the opening game last Friday, against Austria Lustenau. The enthu­siasm of the fans was clearly notice­able and due to the grip­ping moti­va­tion of the players in the new home, LASK won with a score of 1:0.

A victory of many more victo­ries - also for BWT! In addi­tion to the unique pink BWT branding inside the stadium, which is intended to draw atten­tion to BWT's vision - to "Change the World - sip by sip" - as a strategic partner of LASK, the entire soccer stadium was fully equipped with the patented BWT filter tech­nolo­gies. Water is filtered locally, miner­al­ized with magne­sium, zinc and sili­cate and thus becomes a tasty drinking plea­sure directly out of the tap. This saves several thou­sand plastic bottles per match day. Another big step against the use of water in dispos­able bottles, as well as the trans­port and CO2 emis­sions that result.

"It is a plea­sure for me to be present at the opening of the new LASK stadium on behalf of BWT and to make the world a better place, sip by sip, together with all the fans," said Beatrix Oster­mann, Managing Director of BWT Austria. "We are once again setting a great example for sustain­ability and, by equip­ping the boxes, the BWT Busi­ness Club and the entire spec­tator area, we can appeal to many people to also inte­grate BWT tech­nolo­gies at home and thus save a lot of waste."

With around 45 taps in the lounges and the BWT Busi­ness Club area as well as the water supply in the athletes' cabins and the kiosks in the whole public area, Europe's No. 1 in water treat­ment succeeds in guar­an­teeing an all-​round supply throughout the entire arena.

For the opening of the new stadium BWT donates 35.000€ to the AQUA Pearls For You and Planet Blue Foun­da­tion for the construc­tion of wells in Gambia/Tanzania. This amount will be used to dedi­cate 5 new wells to the LASK team and the entire support team.

FOR YOU AND PLANET BLUE!
