FC Thun closing on Swiss Super League title

Football

Swiss club FC Thun are nearing their first domestic league title a decade after Leicester City's Premier League victory.

FC Thun are currently leading the Swiss Super League table as they seek a maiden top-flight title. Mauro Lustrinelli's side have maintained a consistent lead over traditional powers including Young Boys and Basel throughout the 2025-26 campaign. The club operates with a significantly lower budget than its rivals, drawing comparisons to Leicester City's 2016 English title win, according to Swiss Football League records.

Thun returned to the Super League following promotion from the Challenge League in 2024. They have since built a squad around domestic talent and disciplined defensive organisation. Per Reuters, the Berner Oberland outfit has lost only four matches this season.

Recent victories against FC Zurich and Lugano have extended their advantage at the summit of the division. With five matches remaining in the season, Thun require nine points to mathematically secure the trophy. The club previously competed in the Champions League group stages in 2005 but has never won a major domestic honour, per official league data.
