About BSC Young Boys

BSC Young Boys is one of Switzerland’s most successful and historic football clubs, based in Bern. The club was founded in 1898 by a group of students, and its name was chosen in contrast to the Basel club “Old Boys.” From its early years, Young Boys quickly established itself as an important force in Swiss football and became one of the founding members of the country’s competitive football tradition. The team is traditionally known for its yellow and black colours and plays its home matches at Stadion Wankdorf.

Throughout the 20th century, Young Boys experienced several strong periods of success, especially in domestic competitions. The club won multiple Swiss league titles and Swiss Cup trophies, particularly during its dominant era in the 1950s and later in the 1960s and 1980s. After a long gap without a league title, the club returned to prominence in the 2010s, re-establishing itself as one of the strongest teams in Switzerland.

In recent years, Young Boys have become the leading force in Swiss football again, winning several league titles in the modern Super League era. The club also returned to European competitions regularly, including appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stages, where they achieved notable results against major European teams. This modern success has confirmed Young Boys as a dominant club in Switzerland and an important representative of Swiss football internationally.
