Stefan Wolff wins with Servette….
A cultural asset in Swiss football, the Sandoz Cup, which is around 100 years old, is named after Lausanne banker Aurèle-Gilbert Sandoz. Lucerne president Stefan Wolff won the championship twice as a player, in 1992 with FCL and after seven years with Servette.
Wolff’s feelings about this competition are in turn nostalgic. “The cup presents everything that makes up football,” said the president of the French Football Federation in an interview with “Zentralplus”. Only: the competition has lost its relevance in recent years. A twist that makes him think: “I think the cup should be given the rightful place again, and of course the organizer is also responsible for that.”
She desperately needs a new brand. The sponsor has the right to do advertising and marketing with the cup. Wolff: “The Trophy should become the day of Swiss football again.”
SFV defends itself against criticism
When asked about Wolff’s criticism, SFV general secretary Robert Praeter replied: “To say the Cup is OK would be an exaggeration.” National cup competitions in general face some difficulties, not only in Switzerland. “They are under the pressure of national championships, European and international competitions. At the same time, the first round of the cup this season has shown the value of competition. It mobilizes thousands in the regions of our country where great football festivals take place when David plays with Goliath.”
According to Britter, the trophy is a traditional competition. “We are looking for a new title sponsor and are working hard to explore better marketing opportunities to make the trophy as attractive as possible.”
