Raiders Tirol: A New Era Under Fatah

The Raiders Tirol are entering a new chapter with the return of head coach Shuan Fatah and the addition of 6-4, 215 pound quarterback Steven Krajewski who finished his college career at Wagner (NCAA, Div. 1 FCS). Fatah’s leadership is expected to reignite the team’s competitive spirit, aiming to return to the top of European football. Krajewski, who has quickly embraced the Raiders’ culture, is excited about the opportunity to lead the offense.

With both teams eager to prove themselves, fans can expect an exciting clash filled with intensity and passion.
