Venue: SKN St. Pölten, Austria
The SKN Excellence Campus takes place at the training centre of SKN St. Pölten in St. Pölten, the capital of the Austrian state of Lower Austria. The home ground of SKN St. Pölten is the NV Arena, Bimbo-Binder-Promenade 9, 3100 St. Pölten.
SKN St. Pölten provides the stadium and is partner of the event; this includes the pitches, the dressing rooms and the seminar room. The club is the venue and sporting partner, not the contracting party of participants.
St. Pölten lies about 60 km west of Vienna. Participants organise their own travel to Austria, including insurance; the transfer from Vienna airport or St. Pölten station is provided and included in the price — see travel and arrival.
