Squad17 Aug 2026

The knee: Guillermo Padula out for 30 days

30 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Rapperswil-Jona lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No deal for Facinet Conté at that price

Rapperswil-Jona offered $2.0M; Young Boys said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Bruk-Bet Termalica tell Rapperswil-Jona: Morgan Faßbender is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Rapperswil-Jona bid $47.0K for Mardochée Miguel

The offer went to Servette this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Léon Bergsma falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Rapperswil-Jona

Philipp Simon and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Haymenn Bah-Traore

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Haymenn Bah-Traore, and the manager let it.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Rapperswil-Jona against Étoile Carouge

0‑1 to Étoile Carouge, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No place for Léon Bergsma in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Rapperswil-Jona are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad10 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guillermo Padula

41 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Rapperswil-Jona lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Luís Ribeiro would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Luís Ribeiro is living that version at Rapperswil-Jona, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Nicolas Glaus

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Rapperswil-Jona have done the hard part with Grasshopper, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A hand in 2 of them from Philipp Simon — 7.93

Marked 7.93. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Rapperswil-Jona

Tuur Dierckx and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Christian Shaqiri steps up from the Rapperswil-Jona academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christian Shaqiri has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Christian Gavranovic joins the Rapperswil-Jona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Christian Gavranovic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Rapperswil-Jona promote Mario Akanji from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mario Akanji has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Steven Widmer joins the Rapperswil-Jona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Steven Widmer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
