Football Switzerland laughs at Zurich. Not because of the performance of GC and FCZ – or perhaps because of it. Above all, almost no one can understand why the voters in Zurich have already approved a new stadium on the Hardturm site three times, but there is still a wasteland there. The problem: Complaints and appeals are blocking the large-scale ‘Ensemble’ project, which includes two high-rise apartment buildings.

As tsüri.ch reports, it is not just the “bank protection initiative” that threatens the new stadium. No, the association “Pro livable Zurich – Limmatraum” has also been mobilizing for four years.

Surprisingly: In addition to the left-green “IG Freiräume” and “IG Wasser”, Höngger celebrities are also behind the call. Specifically: Felix E. Müller, former editor-in-chief of “NZZ am Sonntag”. And entrepreneur Urs Doubt, member of the board of directors of Doubt Pomy Chips AG. The chip company has acted as a football lawyer in the past. She does not want to comment on Urs Doubt’s call to tsüri.ch. And Felix E. Müller already criticized the spatial planning of Zurich in his articles. Neither he nor the “NZZ” made a statement about the fight against the stadium.

It’s not just the Greens

As early as 2017, the chip baron and the former editor-in-chief fought against the stadium project, at the time in the ‘Höngger Committee’. Now they’re doing it again, albeit anonymously. So it is not just the Greens who are making life difficult for the two Zurich football clubs; celebrities and wealthy people also enter the legal barricade.

The objections that were rejected by the construction court last August have been referred to the administrative judge. After that, you can also expect to go to federal court. Only then is the building permit valid. FCZ boss Ancillo Canepa does not expect a stadium to be ready for occupancy until 2029 at the earliest. At Blick’s request, the FCZ did not want to comment on the latest revelations.
