Journalistic concept

In 1994, the Swiss football team took part in its first major international tournament in 28 years, the World Cup in the United States. Euro 2024 in Germany will be the twelfth tournament it has played since, over a period of thirty years. The national team «Trente Glorieuses» were the result of a new approach to training players, as well as a series of changes in national football: young players leaving to gain experience abroad, dual nationals choosing to wear the red jersey with the white cross, and clubs producing successful athletes. This is the story that «Le Temps» wants to tell, through the eyes of those who wrote it on the pitch, on the bench and behind the scenes. Our work will include a major account of this very special period, interviews, articles on the work of each of the nine successive coaches, as well as our «model team» drawn from the international players of the last three decades.
