The Challenge League is played in Winterthur. Most of the time, but not always. FC Winterthur also invites clubs from abroad to the Winterthur Schützenwiese from time to time. Like the Hamburg cult club FC St. Pauli.
FC St. Pauli, a club with great charisma, a loyal fan community in Switzerland and a frequent guest at the "Schützi" in recent years.
The United of Manchester have also been to the Eulachstadt: another cult club that split off from the big Manchester United following their takeover by foreign investors. Thousands of fans from far beyond the city limits came to indulge in a touch of international football.
And now, on July 28, 2017, it will not only be iconic, but also really high-class. Top German club Borussia Dortmund will play a test match against traditional Spanish club Espanyol Barcelona in Winterthur. Dortmund: This is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - market value: 80 million francs. These are German world champions like Mario Götze and Marco Reus. And Dortmund: Last but not least, this is the club of national team goalkeeper Roman Bürki.
On the other side is Espanyol Barcelona: four-time Spanish Cup winners and eighth in the 2016/2017 Primera Division, arguably the best league in the world. Football heart, what more could you want?
BORUSSIA DORTMUND vs. ESPANYOL BARCELONA
