SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol

Let's win together

“Let’s win together” is MCI’s and the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol’s joint slogan. The Entrepreneurial School^® has teamed up with the European Champions League winner in American football and multiple-time Austrian champion to create a successful partnership. The SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol will become the MCI college team, and MCI will be the Raiders’ home college. Both partners believe in fairness and want to promote performance, success and international exchange.

Linking sports to education is a common and integral part of a successful education at universities and colleges in many countries. The new partnership between the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol and the Entrepreneurial School^® is based on the model of American college football. It creates powerful synergies and combines highly professional amateur sports with education at the highest level.

General Manager Claudia Nuener underlines: "We are very proud of this outstanding cooperation and are pleased to offer our athletes the opportunity to combine education and sports at the highest level. Mutual support and shared experiences are integral parts of the Raiders’ family."

American Football

The many rules and special terms used in American Football can be confusing, even for die-hard fans. American Football is a very young sport developing at high speed. If you have a hard time with terms like “down”, “line of scrimmage” or “clipping”, you might want to read the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol’s detailed explanation of the terms and rules.

BASKETBALL

Since autumn 2018, the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol have had their own basketball segment in their sports family. Already in the first year, the team succeeded in advancing to the second division, called Basketball Second League (B2L). The season runs from September to March.

Cheerleading

Cheerleading goes with American football like the Alps with Tyrol, and the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol cheerleaders belong to the best and most successful in Austria. In cheerleading, in contrast to dance, acrobatics are clearly in the foreground. With daring pyramids, the SWARCO Raiderettes astound the spectators.
