Schweizer Nati-Fans – Die Debatte um Doppeladler und Doppelbürger | Reportage | SRF

After the World Cup debacle in Russia and the controversy surrounding the double eagle and dual citizenship, the Swiss national team offered the country a reconciliation offer with a 6-0 victory over Iceland and an honorable defeat in the friendly against England. "Reporter" takes the pulse of the fans and talks to them about home, identity, and integration. Ruth and Richard Voser from Igis have barely missed a Swiss national team match in twelve years. They have already flown to the Faroe Islands, Hungary, and Israel on the same plane as the national team and their entourage, getting to know countries and cities they would never have visited without the Swiss national team. Ruth and Richard Voser have had an exciting and exhausting week of football behind them – the successful start to the Nations League in St. Gallen and, the following day, the trip to Leicester with their idols. In the 6-0 victory against Iceland in St. Gallen, the players of the Albanian football club FC Besa also cheered on the Swiss goalscorers. Coach Vincenc Lazraj (28) is Swiss and came to Switzerland from Albania with his parents at the age of five. His football career took him to various clubs in Eastern Switzerland, but he settled down at FC Besa. He says it's the friendships and the closeness of the players' families that he values ​​so much at the club. Despite the joy of the Swiss national team's victory against Iceland, the highlight of his football week was something else: the 3. Liga match against FC Gossau on Sunday, which would set the course for the team's long-awaited promotion to the 2. Liga. "Reporter" listens to the heartbeat of the Swiss fans and hears – alongside the loud cheering for Vladimir Petkovic and his men – various background noises: The loyalty of the seasoned national team fans in Leicester is accompanied by a melancholic regret that the Swiss national team players will likely bear names like Mbabu, Akanji, Ajeti, and Zakaria much more frequently in the future. In contrast, Vincenc Lazraj has two football hearts beating in his chest. And that's a good thing: "I'm not doing Switzerland any harm by honoring my Albanian roots," says the 28-year-old FC Besa coach.
