Underwater Football with Christian Redl

Just when I thought things were getting kind'a quiet I got a call from the notorious self made freediving professional Christian Redl.



As the season for underwater ice hockey seems to be over, the publicity expert has been thinking up a new thing. This year Austria and Switzerland will be hosting the UEFA European Football Championship. What reason moor you need to think up underwater football?

And who would an Austrian choose as an opponent? The Germans!

So, I'm asked to put together what will be the first National Underwater Football Team in order to play a friendly mach against Austria. The mach will take place in Vienna on the 26th of April.

It looks like German dive magazine tauchen will sponsor our team to go down there.

Today we had our first training. We have already discovered some very useful techniques. Of course we will not talk about them here… ;)
Once we find out how big the goals are goanna be we will play a little more. I will keep you updated.

  1. OK that sounds fun! Much better than violent and claustrophobic UW-rugby... Can you post a video? And tell us a bit more about how you play it? Happy training,

  2. We are not publishing any training footage before the game. Sorry, but as we do not know the techniques of our opponent we do not want to give them any advantage... ;)

    But it is fun and I cant wait to see it happening.
