The play-off final is long over and the championship trophy has been handed over. But after the 3-0 coup against Servette, the FCZ players are in no hurry to head to the Zurich in-club Kaufleuten for their title celebration on Saturday night.
They continue to party in the St. Gallen Kybunpark. The title defense – but also the 23rd birthday of the strong attacking player Seraina Piubel. Her storm partner Fabienne Humm (36) sings out loud: “Happy Birthday to you!”
The daughter of ex-GC player and ex-FCZ coach Urs Meier laughs and later says: “We won the cup on our birthday. Now I wished for the championship title. I am extremely happy. Servette has had an excellent season But today we were the better team.”
Roller coaster season with fatalities and coach changes
Zurich was the defending champion, but is the outsider in the final. But he successfully resists the transfer of power in Swiss women’s football. Although Croesus Servette has been the dominant team for months, the Geneva team won the cup and did not lose a game all season – until the playoff final. Record champion FCZ prevents Geneva from winning with the 24th national title and grabs the Champions League ticket.
Nati striker Humm describes this triumph as particularly emotional. The FCZ had to deal with setbacks. At the start of the season, the tragic death of the father of player Noa Schärz (22) shocked the team. Then coach Inka Grings leaves the club for the national team in the winter. And finally the shock of the serious injury of Kim Dubs (24).

Humm: «The season was not easy. Fate in the summer, then Inka’s departure. But in recent weeks we have turned the corner. We are very proud. Today we also wanted to win for Kim.”
Due to dubbings, the women from Zurich wear “Gueti Besserig, Kim” on their vests to warm up. The midfielder tore her Achilles tendon in the semi-final of the second leg and underwent surgery.
