“The LS and SFC remind their players and their families that these rallies formally violate current legislation during this period of deconfinement,” they continued. The participants in these matches face fines and sanctions from their clubs if it turns out that Servette FC or Lausanne-Sport players are identified in the public or on the field. “
Recognized Lausanne citizen
Is it to believe that some members of the two Lake Geneva clubs are involved in recent events? On a video of Thursday night’s wild game in Lausanne circulating on social networks, we see at least one player wearing an LS training jersey.

“Anyone can buy it. It does not mean anything. Especially since merchandising is quite successful, tempers the vice-president of the Vaud club Stefan Nellen, contacted by phone. No player in our professional group seems to be concerned by this meeting. However, I can confirm that at least one member of the Team Vaud training structure has been recognized. ”
Servants “summoned”
What about Servette’s side? “To our knowledge, no one from here has taken part in these types of meetings so far,” answers Loïc Luscher, communications manager. However, we do know that some of our juniors, from the 2004s, have been called in for possible future matches. This is why we wanted to publish this press release. From a preventive perspective. ”
Friday, the RTS had announced the holding of a wild meeting, Thursday evening, gathering more than 1000 young people aged 16 to 20 years (on the ground as around) in Boveresses, in the northern districts of Lausanne. And this despite the assembly ban in force. At least one other match of its kind has been organized recently in French-speaking Switzerland. “Young people want to play football. But we have to educate them and try to ensure that this does not happen again, ”concludes Stefan Nellen.
