happy.days in the Kufstein region

Kufstein – A special double feature of two football giants will kick off the first major highlight of the happy.days in the Kufstein region in the new year: Toni Polster and Oliver Kahn will share their experiences, stories, and perspectives on happiness in football on May 22, 2026, at the Festspielhaus Erl. Just in time before the start of the World Cup summer, the two legends will talk about great moments in their careers, success, and the power of team sports. Ticket sales have already begun.

The early summer of 2026 will be a celebration for football fans around the globe – and for Austria's sports enthusiasts, it will be particularly special: For the first time in 28 years, Austria will be represented at a football world championship – this historic sporting event inspires the happy.days in the Kufstein region to center the theme of football in the program.

With Toni Polster, Austria's goal-scoring legend, fan favorite, and master of pointed humor, and Oliver Kahn, Champions League and World Cup winner, three-time World Goalkeeper of the Year, and the only goalkeeper ever to receive the Ballon d'Or, two personalities who have shaped European football for decades will meet on stage.

Despite all their differences, Toni Polster and Oliver Kahn share much more than one might assume at first glance. Both have shaped an entire generation of football, both embody passion, professionalism, and unmistakable personality – and both have become role models and idols for millions of children. At the same time, their roles and temperaments could not be more contrasting: Here is the intuitive goal scorer who decided games with humor, charm, ease, and an inimitable instinct; there is the uncompromising titan of German performance football in goal, known for discipline, mental strength, and analytical precision. It is precisely this mix of similarities and contrasts that makes their meeting on stage so fascinating and promises an evening full of surprising insights, vivid football stories, and top-tier entertainment.

In a moderated stage conversation, Polster and Kahn provide insights into the world of elite sports: How much luck is needed for a successful career? What role do team spirit and cohesion play for personal well-being? And which moments remain in the hearts of legends for a lifetime? The two also dare to look ahead – to the upcoming football World Cup 2026 and to the chances of Austria and Germany.

With this special evening, the happy.days in the Kufstein region 2026 connect inspiration, humor, depth, and football enthusiasm for generations – thus paving the emotional path to an unforgettable World Cup summer.

TVB Chairman Georg Hörhager: “With Toni Polster and Oliver Kahn, we are presenting two sports icons at the happy.days who have made football history. The fact that both will be in the Kufstein region in May already generates palpable excitement.”

Klaus Felderer, Managing Director of Sparkasse Kufstein: “The happy.days connect people – and that’s exactly what we, as a savings bank, are committed to. The guest appearances of Toni Polster and Oliver Kahn are special highlights in the 2026 annual program, and we are pleased to once again support this event series as a main sponsor.”
