Austrian Cup review
In a curious turn of events, Rapid played all of its first three games in the Austrian Cup in the Sportklub Stadium in Vienna as neither the home grounds of the opponents had the infrastructure to host the game and the venue of the Linzer Stadion, where Blau-Weiß Linz initially wanted to move, was already occupied at the time with hosting the 2016 World Karate Championships.
