The ÖFB women's team is programmed to start European Championship qualifications for victory

The Austrian women's national soccer team starts on Tuesday (18.00 hrs / ORF 1 live) to fight for tickets to the finals of the 2021 European Championship in England. At Maria Enzersdorf Dominik Thalhammer's team against Northern Macedonia is set for victory.

Northern Macedonia did not participate in the last qualifying round and was ranked 127th in the world, 106 behind the ÖFB team. "We are clearly in the role of favorite. It takes patience, perseverance and intensity. If we want to qualify, we have to beat weaker ranking teams," Thalhammer explained.

The choice was made in the summer of 2017 by entering the European Championship semi-finals for a small summer fairytale, having failed in qualifying for the 2019 World Cup but Spain were strong and also missed the play-offs. Since then it has been tested against top teams such as Germany, England and Sweden.

The departure of Austrian recording team player and goalkeeper Nina Burger has left a gap. "Behind us is an intense year, accompanied by many processes of change. We are confident that we have taken the right steps and take the team to the next level. We want to prove it tomorrow," explained Thalhammer. "This is our main goal to be present at this EURO. We have proven what is possible," the coach said.

The team captain, Viktoria Schnaderbeck, hopes with great anticipation of her opening and 70th international match. "The whole team is happy that this is finally about the points again, and then in Südstadt, where we feel very comfortable
