    Historical Professional Swiss Soccer Club

    Description

    L#20261168

    Founded 100 years ago the target entity is the oldest Swiss football club in continuous, uninterrupted competitive activity. The club currently competes in the third tier of the Swiss football pyramid, targeting promotion to the professional second division (Challenge League / Serie B) within the short-to-medium term.

    The club is wholly held and directed by its long-standing President, who has managed operations with an entrepreneurial model. There are no third-party financial shareholders.

    Sporting licenses, federal affiliation, and competition rights are held directly by the core operating association/entity, without reliance on external special-purpose holding vehicles.

    Transaction Terms & Valuation

     The current sole shareholder is open to discussing a majority stake acquisition or a full 100% buyout, pegged against the same baseline valuation and subject to terms agreed upon during negotiations.
    The capital injection does not serve legacy debt service; it acts entirely as growth working capital to expand player payroll (+CHF 300,000) and operational budgets required to achieve promotion.
    The current President is prepared to remain as reference shareholder and operational steward under a partnership model to safeguard performance continuity.

    Transaction Perimeter

    Included in the Transaction PDF Excluded from the Transaction PDF
    • Sporting registration, federation rights, and first-team player contracts
    • President’s private corporate entity (construction/real estate)
    • Exclusive use agreement for the refurbished home stadium
    • Real estate ownership of the municipal stadium itself
    • Partnership rights within the youth academy network (>450 players)
    • Independent partner clubs of the youth academy consortium
    • Commercial portfolio (sponsorships, federal allowances, matchday hospitality)
    • Historical trademarks, crest, digital media channels, and domains
    • Future sell-on clauses and performance receivables on previously transferred talent

    Infrastructure & Youth Academy Ecosystem

    • Stadium Infrastructure: Municipal venue occupied under an exclusive operational agreement, insulating the club from capital-intensive property debt.
    • Youth System: Structured through a long-standing regional consortium (operational since 2011) spanning four local clubs, engaging over 450 players (ages 6–21) and 50+ coaches to feed senior ranks and drive trading value.

    Financial Performance & Model

    The club operates on a self-sustaining model and completes each sporting season without residual carrying debt.
    • Player Trading Track Record: Proven pipeline scouting zero-cost talent on multi-year contracts, monetizing them via Swiss/foreign clubs while retaining 10%–20% sell-on rights (e.g., recent exits generating CHF 150k + 10%; CHF 100k + 20%; additional ongoing sell-on claims).
    • Operational Subsidies: At least 3 operational staff members supporting the club are currently employed directly by the shareholder’s private firm at zero payroll cost to the club (terms to be formalized post-closing).
