The 108th winter sports edition of the Austrian trade show ÖSFA, scheduled as a physical event in Salzburg’s Brandboxx from Feb. 23 to 25, has been canceled by the local health order authorities due to Covid-19 restrictions. Originally, the organizers had planned a first event called ÖSFA Start on Feb. 2-3, followed by the second one at the end of the month, but the first session was also canceled. However, the permanent showrooms at Brandboxx will remain open for business to retailers.

Meanwhile, the Association of Sporting Goods Manufacturers and Sports Equipment Suppliers of Austria (VSSÖ), owner of the ÖSFA, announced that the dates for the ÖSFA Apprentice Day (Feb. 23 and 24) remain unchanged.

The preliminary date for the next edition of ÖSFA is Feb. 22-24, 2022.
