From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BSC Young Boys is a Swiss football club of the Swiss capital, Berne.
[edit] History
The FC Young Boys club was founded on 14 March 1898, taking its name in contrast to the existing club Old Boys Basel. The club played its first game, against FC Viktoria on the following 17 June. It won the Swiss Championship three years in succession, in 1909, 1910, and 1911.
In 1925 the club moved to the newly built Wankdorfstadion and changed its prefix from "FC" to "BSC" (Berner Sport Club) in recognition of the fact that the club was not just a football team, but also had sections playing boccia (an Italian form of boules), handball, and hockey.
The club's golden age was the 1950s, when it won the Swiss Cup in 1953 and 1958, and the Swiss Championship in four consecutive years starting in 1957.
In the 2001 to 2005 seasons Young Boys played at the Neufeldstadion, while the Wankdorf, venue of the finals of the FIFA World Cup 1954 and the European Cup of Champions in 1961, was being demolished and replaced with the new Stade de Suisse, Wankdorf, completed in the summer of 2005.
