«The FCW leaves its women’s team on the sidelines. This stuns us.” With these words begins a post that the “Proseccokurve Winterthur” shared on Instagram at the weekend.

The response was great: the post received over 1,100 likes and was commented on and shared dozens of times.

The allegations against FC Winterthur are serious and diverse. For example, the women who play in the NLB would have to pay for their training camp themselves. “This is embarrassing for a club that is committed to equal rights,” they say. In addition, the players are even required to pay membership fees.

Another “bad habit” is that women are not allowed to use the weight room if there are already juniors or the men’s team there. They also have “by far the worst training times” of all teams.

“The circumstances are unacceptable”

The trigger for the heavy criticism was the scheduling of the game last weekend. The two fanion teams had a game at the same time on Saturday evening. Therefore, the women had to switch to the “Flüeli” playing field without further ado. The game was clearly lost 1:4.

The “Prosecco curve” called for a double game. So that the women would play directly after the men on the Schützenwiese. “However, this was not approved by the sports management,” the post says.

Even during the men’s game (1-0 win against Servette) there was criticism of the Winterthur club management. The fans in the beer curve presented a poster with the inscription: “GL + VR: The women’s team is doing so well – why aren’t you?”

“These circumstances are not acceptable for us,” writes the “Prosecco curve” at the end of its article. “The FCW women are no longer just not supported, no, obstacles are actively being put in their way. It seems to us that the concerns of our NLB team are not being addressed either by the management or the board of directors of FC Winterthur. That needs to change!”

“No discrepancies” at FC Winterthur

Nau.ch confronted FC Winterthur with the “Prosecco curve” allegations. The club is aware of the post. Roger Odermatt, head of women and coach of the U21 women’s team, makes it clear: “I can assure you that we have no internal disagreements at FC Winterthur.”

There are various reasons, such as the infrastructure or the game operation, that did not allow a double game on the Schützenwiese.

No, the club assures that there is “unity”.

“There is also agreement on the other topics. And we are completely within the norm of a women’s team in the NLB,” Odermatt continues.

The development of the FCW women’s division is very positive. In addition to the first women’s team, the promotion of girls’ football also plays a central role.
