What a story! Little FC Thun is the clear leader in the Swiss championship, after 29 stages, with 68 points. The newly promoted needs only five more victories to get the first title in history!

The team coached by Mauro Lustrinelli (50 years old) dominates the Swiss championship and is close to making history. It evolves in a stadium with only 10,000 seats and has a 14-point lead over St. Gallen, 2nd place.

FC Thun, the miracle from Switzerland! Close to the first title in history

On Sunday, Thun beat Young Boys 2-1 in the 29th round. It has no less than 12 consecutive matches without defeat, the best attack (66 goals) and the best defense (32).

With 15 more points (five wins), the newly promoted team wins the first trophy in history, a rare performance in the context in which last year it played in the second league.

The team prepared by Mauro Lustrinelli has 4 more matches to play until the end of the regular season, and then the play-off will begin, where the points are not halved, as is the case in Romania.

Grasshoppers (11th), Zurich (10th), Lugano (3rd) and FC Basel (4th) are FC Thun's last opponents in the regular season. Apart from Thun, St. Gallen, Lugano, FC Basel, Sion and Young Boys are ranked in the play-off places.

If they win the title, FC Thun will play in the Champions League preliminaries. Lustrinelli, Thun's technician, has been on the team's technical bench since 2022, having trained the Swiss U21 national team.

Thun's lot is worth 15.88 million euros, according to the specialist website Transfermarkt. The most valuable player is Franz-Ethan Meichtry, 2 million euros.
