Swiss Super League 2025-26: FC Thun Seal First Title In Club’s 128-Year History

Swiss soccer finally got its surprise champion Sunday in unheralded Thun, sealing a title to compare with Leicester’s long-shot Premier League win in 2016. Thun clinched a first Swiss league title in the club’s 128-year history — despite losing games on the past two Saturdays — when second-place St. Gallen dropped points in a 3-0 loss hosting Sion. That left Thun, coached by former star forward Mauro Lustrinelli, 11 points clear with three rounds to go.
