The birth of Young Boys in the closing year of the 19th century paints an image of a time when football was far from the spectacle it is today. Having been in existence since 1898, they find themselves at home in the Stadion Wankdorf, an iconic setting tucked away in the heart of Switzerland.
The value of their playing squad stands tall at approximately £58m. This figure, according to Transfermarkt, speaks true to the talent and potential held within the ranks of this long-standing squad.
The outfit boasts a total of seventeen players, the average age of whom is 25 – a strapping collective of experienced athletes mixed with young, up-and-coming talent. The future, one could argue, appears promising indeed for this group as they mature together.
Young Boys have been flexing their muscle across four competitions thus far in the season. The Super League has them placed 6th, whilst their efforts in the Coupe de Suisse saw them advance to the second round. Their notable presence in the Europa League Qualifiers led them on to the Play-Offs, with the outcome seeing them progress into the League Phase of the Europa League itself.
