FC Thun Storms Back: Secures Swiss Super League Promotion After 5-Year Wait

After an unbelievable comeback, FC Thun has won the Swiss Challenge League title. With this win, the team has secured a spot in the top-tier Swiss Super League for next season. Having been relegated to the second division five years ago, this victory marks a significant milestone in the club’s 124-year history. After a long wait since April 25, the team finally sealed the championship.
The opportunity to confirm the title came during a crucial match against FC Schaffhausen. Playing at their home ground, Stockhorn Arena, Thun dominated from the start. Although Schaffhausen put up a fight in the closing moments of the game, increasing the tension for the home fans, Thun held their nerve to secure the win. Following the final whistle, thousands of supporters flooded the pitch to celebrate the historic promotion with the players.
The city of Thun has been swept up in a festive atmosphere since last night. This achievement is seen as a major success for the club’s management and the players, who have worked tirelessly to return to the top flight of Swiss football. Club officials noted that the journey back to the Super League was challenging, but the unwavering support of the fans made it possible. This victory not only brings Thun back to the elite level but also promises a boost to the local footballing community.
