Urania Genève Sport

Urania Genève Sport is a Swiss omnisport club based in Geneva. Its football section was founded in 1896.

The current club was born in 1922 through a merger between FC Urania and FC Genève.

Its main title is the Swiss cup, won in 1929 against Young Boys. This same year, the club is champion of the French part of Switzerland (Champion romand).

In 1931, UGS finishes at the second place of the Swiss championship, just behind Grasshopper Club Zürich.

Actually UGS plays in the third Swiss division, a non professional league.

For the 2010/2011 season, and for its away games, the players will wear a special blue/white jersey commemorating the coming to UGS of the Argentine Alberto Tarantini 20 years ago. Tarantini was World champion in 1978 and realised a goal against Peru, being the youngest player of his team. At that time he was a free-non team player, signed directly with the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino(AFA).
