This Thursday's Salzburg-FC Porto match (20:00), which marks the start of the regular phase of the Europa League, will have a distinguished fan in the stands supporting the blue and whites: it's Arnold Wetl, a former player for the Portuguese team in 1996/97.
The Austrian, now 55 years old, received an official FC Porto jersey this afternoon with the number 9 and his name. "Hello FC Porto fans, I'm in Salzburg and I'm going to watch the game tonight. I hope it's a big win for FC Porto!", said Wetl, in a video shared by the dragons on social media.
Wetl, who was an international player for Austria, also represented Rapid Vienna, Sturm Graz, and Gratkorn. He is one of the two Austrian players who have worn the FC Porto jersey, along with Marc Janko - who played for the club in 2011/12 and also passed through Salzburg - and who is now a commentator on Austrian television.
