The last gala before moving to Winterthur
At the 20th gala of the Zurich Region Football Association (FVRZ) in the Zurich Congress Center, various clubs from the Winterthur region were honored in front of 750 people.

A special honor was given to Weisslinger Angelo Chidichimo at the gala. Together with Arnold Kunz from Höngg and Marcel Spahni from Wollishof, he received the award of “Volunteer of the 2023 Season”. Chidichimo managed FC Weisslingen for 25 years, until 2021. There was probably no job at the club that he didn’t do. In the eulogy for the 62-year-old it was aptly stated: “He is simply the face of FC Weisslingen.”

At the moment, the honoree is taking it easy in the club, except that he is still somewhat active with the veterans. “But,” said Angelo Chidichimo after the honor, “perhaps I’ll take office again at some point.”
Exemplary clubs
In total, almost 180 football clubs belong to the FVRZ. Ten of them were awarded the gold plaque as “exemplary clubs” at the gala, including Wiesendangen, Seuzach and Effretikon. Neftenbach, Ellikon/Marthalen, Russikon and Veltheim with silver and Kemptthal, Stammheim and Phönix Seen with bronze also made it into the top 10 in their respective categories. Seven clubs received a diploma, including Elgg and Kollbrunn-Rikon.
From January in Winterthur
The 20th FVRZ gala was organized for the first time solely by the new president Benjamin Benz. For the 33-year-old, who is also the coach of the second division club FC Herrliberg, work continues despite the break in the championship.
The office of the Zurich Region Football Association is moving from Schlieren to Winterthur to the Win4 complex in Deutweg. This is thanks to the infrastructure available there and the proximity to football pitches. In January the FVRZ will start working in the new Win4 cube.
