Welcome to the LOTTERIEN Sporthilfe Gala

Honoring the Athletes of the Year

LOTS OF SPACE FOR SHOW AND EMOTIONS

We have arrived in Austria's largest event hall with the LOTTERIEN Sporthilfe Gala. For the fourth time we want to honor our sports heroes and role models with a glittering gala in the vienna city hall.

Before that, the stars of tomorrow will be awarded the Sporthilfe Youth Sports Prize, Austria's most valuable young sports award. After the honors we can dance and network at the legendary gala party, the NIKI Night.
 

#TOGETHERUNBEATABLE
For the 29th time, Sporthilfe is providing an impressive setting with the LOTTERIEN Sporthilfe Gala to honor the best athletes in the country. In keeping with our motto #TogetherUnbeatable, we have once again mastered numerous challenges together and many Austrian medals applauded.
The members of
Sports Media Austria, the Association of Austrian Sports Journalists, are already looking forward to choosing the athletes of the year in autumn.

Overnight stay
We are very excited to bring you this this year Boutique Hotel Stadthalle to be recommended as an official gala hotel. The boutique hotel is not only a few minutes' walk from the town hall, it is also the first city hotel with a zero-energy balance and the first SDG hotel in the world. In order to make the future livable, sustainable and, above all, green, concrete implementation must take place, which is why the goals for sustainable development, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are lived and communicated in the boutique hotel Stadthalle.
