The Matterhorn Yodlers are once again holding the Swiss National Day Picnic on the 28th July at Kings Park Upper Ferntree Gully, starting at 11 AM.

The Committee is delighted to announce that the builders arrived this morning (March 6th) to begin work on the first-floor renovations. After such a long delay, progress is underway.

The Committee is delighted to bring you the news that the Swiss Club has received permission from the Council for the first-floor renovations to proceed, and last night (February 21st) the contract with the builder was signed. Work is expected to begin later this month.

This represents a major achievement, and is due principally to the hard work, diligence and patience of Patrick Rychner, who has overseen this process. 

On Thursday, November 23rd, the Swiss Club was privileged to have as a guest the Swiss Ambassador, Her Excellency Caroline Bichet-Anthamatten. The apéro was hosted by the Swiss Consul in Melbourne, Ms Manuela Erb. The Ambassador spoke of the diplomatic ties between Switzerland and Australia and how the two nations can work together on common objectives. Thanks are due to Ms Erb and family for organising a very pleasant evening, and also congratulations to her for being appointed as Honorary Consul in Melbourne for a further four years..

Congratulations to all, and best wishes for a successful 2024.

With the Swiss team being as well victorious in the 2023 AFI World Cup, defending the title and prolonging the winning streak, we have decided to be back in 2024, attempting another title defense.

The 2024 World Cup tournament will take place on 23 March 2024 in Box Hill (see flyer) and is again a 9-a-side, mixed, non-contact tournament, where we will be able to play with both men and women aged 15 years and over (https://aflinternational.com/world-cup/).

Additionally we are exploring to field as well a team for the full contact, 9-a-side tournament (World 9s) if we have enough players for it, announced for Saturday 3 February 2024, as well in Box Hill (https://aflinternational.com/world9s/).

For both tournaments, no previous AFL footy experience is required. Additionally the organiser is arranging regular training opportunities to build and extend your skills, starting in October.
