FC Basel is on the hunt for points. Again. For all football Switzerland. Basel’s victories in Europe help the entire league. If Heiko Vogel’s team beats Fiorentina, it will even be historic. A Swiss club has never reached a European final. An extraordinary achievement recognized throughout football in Switzerland. And wherever, the national league is rooting for FCB.
Ancillo and Heliane Canepa, FCZ bosses
«What FC Basel is doing in the European Cup is simply sensational! A masterful performance in terms of game, tactics and mentality. We bow! Reaching the final would be a monumental highlight for Swiss club football! We keep our fingers crossed for FCB and fingers crossed for it.”
Ludovic Magnin, coach of Lausanne
“On Thursday it will be very hard work for Basel. But I trust them completely. What they have achieved in Europe so far is outstanding. It cannot be overestimated what FCB does for the image and for Swiss football abroad. Participating in a European final would be sensational. The whole of Lausanne is rooting for FCB – and not just because Amdouni, Zeqiri and Ndoye are three ex-Lausanne players. Go FCB!”
Peter Zeidler, coach of St. Gallen
“There are great players at FCB, we all admired them last Thursday, we were all proud of them. That was a great achievement. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for it again this Thursday. That would be huge for FC Basel – but of course also for Swiss football.”
Mattia Croci-Torti, Lugano coach
“I’m rooting for FC Basel in Ticino. For Ticino, a place in the final for FCB via Fiorentina would be very important. You don’t know how many times I’ve heard in recent years that Super League teams only play at Serie B level. I always said that clubs like Basel and YB could compete in Serie A. FCB is on a par with Fiorentina. Forza Basilea!”
Stefan Wolf, chairman FC Luzern
“FC Basel’s achievements on the international stage deserve great respect and cannot be overestimated for Swiss football. I wish Heiko Vogel’s team a successful second leg against Fiorentina and the first European final for a Swiss club team.”
Bruno Berner, trainer FC Winterthur, to FCW-TV
“Luckily there is FCB. It’s amazing what the people of Basel have done on the football map of Europe over the past 20 years. Of course, the Conference League is only the third best league, but you have to get that far first, because there are also many good teams there. The door is now open, but there is still a huge achievement to be made at home. But they know that too.”
Steve von Bergen, Young Boys sporting director
“What FC Basel has achieved so far in the Conference League deserves a lot of respect. It would be great for Swiss football if FCB reached the final.”
Barthélémy Constantin, Head of Sport FC Sion
“Of course I hope that FCB wins against Fiorentina and then goes to the big end. It would be historic, the first European Cup title for a Swiss club. My heart has been with FC Basel for the entire European Cup season. In any case are the president and I big FCB fans for these games!”
Claudius Schaefer, CEO SFL
“FC Basel can provide a historic moment of glory with the first participation of a Swiss club in a European final. We cross our fingers on behalf of the entire SFL and want to give the club and the players an entry in the history books from the heart! »
