From 7 to 9 August 2026, 34 football teams from Switzerland and abroad were at the Gründenmoos sports facility in St. Gallen: people with disabilities, amputee teams, FF17 junior girls and U17 junior boys. The same pitches, the same lines, the same game.
A month later, what remains above all are the images of the encounters between the matches: warming up together, conversations on the touchline, teams watching one another. Inclusion does not come about through the programme booklet, but in exactly these moments.
A big thank you to all the teams, coaches, volunteers, partners and guests who carried these days. We are already looking forward to the next time.
