International Food Court
The way to an athlete’s heart is through his stomach! That’s why healthy and balanced food is one of our main concerns.
In the so-called international food court – the dining area in Players Town – you are spoiled for choice: whether it’s typical Austrian, exotic Asian or delicious Italian – the Food Court leaves nothing to be desired! In our food court, not only is a lot of emphasis placed on healthy food, but – as everywhere at the United World Games – the word variety is also very important. A colorful mix of dishes from different cultures awaits you, including the following dishes:
- Pasta dishes
- Salads
- Wiener Schnitzel
- Pizza: margarita, salami etc.
- Burgers and fries
- Sweets, fresh fruit and coffee in the Sweet Corner
The meal package can be booked with us in advance!
Players Town & Activities
The Players Town is the beating heart of the games. This is where the headquarters of the organization, the tournament management and the information office are located. People eat, dance, play and laugh here…
Address: Südring 207, A-9020 Klagenfurt
As soon as you arrive, the first stop for our teams is the Players Town – we will welcome you in the spacious check-in area, welcome you to the UWG and finalize your registration.
The tournament management is also located in this part of the stadium so that all sporting questions can be answered quickly. During the tournament days, all current results and match schedules can be found here.
Located inside the large stadium, Players Town is also home to our international food court, where athletes and fans alike can enjoy a good meal and even watch the exciting matches on the green pitch of the stadium field.
As the heart of our games, the Players Town offers the ideal space for all our side events such as the Oktoberfest, Opening Ceremony, Players Party and the Gala Dinner.
In addition to chilling out in the lounge area, shopping for souvenirs at the merchandise stand and playing games in the entertainment area, you finally have the chance to experience other sports live.
Another highlight in the Players Town is the Fun Area. Action and fun await you there with numerous activities.
The [kwadr.at] stage is integrated into the Fun Area. The Welcome Party will take place there on Thursday. Karaoke and table football are the highlights that will also be offered on all other days of the event. You will have the chance to perform your favourite hits or put your skills to the test at ‘Wuzzeln’.
The offer is implemented by the K2 Youth Cultural Centre [kwadr.at] in cooperation with the Mozarthof Youth Forum. Young people between the ages of 14 and 27 can take advantage of the services offered by the youth cultural centre, which encourages leisure activities and cultural development through support for their own projects or participation in live events.
In short, Players Town is the ideal place for cultures to meet and the birthplace of many new lifelong friendships – nobody is guaranteed to get bored here.
Use the time and visit the Players Town whenever the tournament schedule allows!
