Laying the foundations for future success through the promotion of young talent and creating the best possible conditions for long-term success continues to be a key goal, as it has been since the partnership began in 1993, demonstrated with half of the financial commitment being dedicated to promoting young talent.

Children's and grassroots football also remain an important part of the partnership, which continues to include the official Swiss schools football championship. And in line with ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ’s commitment to equally supporting athletes of all genders, both the women’s and men's teams will continue to receive equal premiums.

Young football talent

Children’s and grassroots football are an integral part of our partnership with the Swiss Football Association, which includes the official Swiss School Football Championship and Football Festivals. Laying the foundation for future success by promoting young talent and creating the best possible conditions for long-term success has been a central element of the partnership since the beginning of the cooperation in 1993. This is reflected in the fact that half the financial commitment goes to the promotion of young talent.
