Let's win together

"Let's win together" is the joint motto of the Entrepreneurial School® and the multiple European and Austrian Champions in American Football, the RAIDERS Tirol. Together with our home college team, we are committed to sporting fairness and promoting performance, networks, exchange, and internationality among motivated people and our university. Linking sports and education is an integral part and a successful educational approach of many universities and colleges around the world. Based on US college football, the partnership between the RAIDERS Tirol and the Entrepreneurial School® combines highly professional amateur sports with top-level education.

"We are very proud of the long-standing and exceptional partnership between MCI and the RAIDERS Tirol and are excited to offer our athletes the opportunity to combine quality education and sports. As our home college, all MCI students, alumni and employees get discounted tickets to our home games in the European League of Football (ELF). The mutual support and shared experiences are essential to 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.

“I feel very comfortable in Tyrol and I am happy that I can combine my studies with American Football. The cooperation between the SWARCO RAIDERS Tirol and MCI Management Center Innsbruck provides me with the ideal conditions to pursue both.”

David Oku, Student International Business & Law, RB-Coach and RAIDERS Player

"As an experienced basketball player, I'm still in great shape and can pass on much to my younger teammates, not least in my role as coach of the junior team. At the same time, I now have the opportunity to expand my professional background with an MCI degree program. It’s just perfect!"

John Gardiner, Student International Business & Law, Coach and Raiders player

"The online study program offers me the chance to further my education while being able to coach my dancers at the same time. Discipline, self-control and motivation are not only vital for studying, but also for success in sports."
