8,900 fans for the YB women: after the record crowd, half of the competition is thinking about doubles

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

The YB women welcome Basel to Wankdorf on Sunday, but the atmosphere will not be the same as before the Nati break. YB played against GC – in front of a record crowd. The Berners reported 8,923 fans, never before in Switzerland have there been so many spectators at a match in the Women’s Super League or previously in the NLA.

How did YB handle this? With a double event. The sold-out Wankdorf first sees the men’s hit between YB and FCZ (0:0), before it continues with the women (1:1). Officially there are still 8,923 in the stadium, even though not everyone stays until the end.

Thanks to the double play of a record. Will other clubs soon follow this example? Research by SonntagsBlick shows: Other clubs are also interested, but unlike YB with its artificial grass, there are questions about the burden of natural grass.

Imaginable scenario for FCL, FCZ and St. Gallen

The idea is being seriously explored in St. Gallen, but significantly more time between matches would have to be planned for maintenance of the natural grass than at YB.

The doubles idea has been around for a long time at champion FCZ. “But so far there has been no opportunity to do so,” they say. In Lucerne the women will certainly play in the stadium, doubles matches are also conceivable.

The Basel women are also coming to their Joggeli performance. But FCB does not plan doubles matches because of the pitch. But otherwise. The women played in front of 3,100 fans as part of the Rankhof anniversary. And in October there was a “Napkin Campaign”. The U21s on campus, the women in the athletics stadium and the men in St. Jakob Park all played against Servette in a row. At least 1,045 fans came for the women.
