The team from Switzerland’s watch capital, now in the third division, faced bankruptcy in 2016 but defied expectations to play Basel on Sunday.
The Swiss Cup, founded in 1925, celebrates its centenary with a historic event—a third division team reaching the final for the first time. FC Biel-Bienne, overcoming bankruptcy and competition with an ice hockey club, and whose sporting director was injured celebrating, exemplifies this unique journey.
Originating from a distinctive town, Biel/Bienne is Switzerland’s largest bilingual city, combining the German “Biel” and the French “Bienne” names in 2005, reflecting community unity.
