Football games - Rangnick Leads Austrian Team to Berlin for Euro 2020 Quarterfinals.

Sharing the news, trainer Ralf Rangnick and his Austrian squad will soon arrive at their Euro 2020 base camp in Berlin's Grunewald. This location holds a sense of nostalgia for many German football fans who witnessed the 2006 World Cup team led by Jürgen Klinsmann staying there. With Austria boasting an impressive record this year and key players already present at the stadium, they're looking to create a similar emotional wave as their German predecessors. The pair, injured captain David Alaba and RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer, are all set to unite with their teammates for a few days prior to the tournament.

Unlike Klinsmann's team that stirred excitement throughout Germany, Rangers' Austria hopes to shock the world. Living up to past glory, two of their group encounters will be held at Berlin's Olympic Stadium. According to Rangnick, his Berlin contacts recommend this spot for its intimacy, seclusion in Grunewald and short 15-minute journey to the stadium.

As the team prepares for their first training session at the Olympiastadion am Wurfplatz in the Olympic Park on Wednesday evening, fans will have the opportunity to observe the event. The Schlosshotel Berlin, where stars like Romy Schneider, Paul McCartney, Peter Ustinov, Josephine Baker, Robert Kennedy, Errol Flynn, and the Rolling Stones have previously stayed, is thrilled to host the Austrian national team. Sascha Hampe, CEO of GCH Hotel Group, expressed his excitement to the German Press Agency, "Having been a part of the football history with the German national team, we're now ready to extend full support and facilities to the Austrian squad and wish them well for their successful tournament."
