Touch Switzerland

And last but definitely not least, HOW GOOD were our Men’s 45 team at the 2024 Touch World Cup!? 💪

The first ever over-40s team to represent Switzerland at a World Cup and they came thrillingly close to a bronze medal! Group stage wins against England (another first for a Swiss team) and Ireland, followed by victory over Wales in the quarter-final, saw them into a World Cup semi-final (ANOTHER first for a Swiss team) to eventually finish 4th in the world!! 🥳

Huge kudos to this group – we loved cheering for you and we’re incredibly proud of you! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

The young ones – our Mixed Open team! The 2024 Touch World Cup saw nine of these bright young stars earn their first international cap and saw so many individuals across the team grab their opportunity, step up, and raise their game on the global stage. This team is helping to push the standard and define a pathway for our younger generation of touch players in Switzerland, and we’re so excited to see what the future holds! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
