Fussballclub Thun 1898 is a Swiss football team from the Bernese Oberland town of Thun. The club plays in the Swiss Challenge League, the second tier of the Swiss football league system, following relegation from the Swiss Super League in the 2019–20 season. The club plays at the Stockhorn Arena which accommodates a total of 10,000 supporters, both seated and standing. The club's colours are red and white.

The biggest achievements in the club's history are two second-place finishes in the Swiss Cup (1955 and 2019), as well as reaching the group stages of the 2005–06 UEFA Champions League.

History

=Until 1995=

FC Thun was founded on 1 May 1898. The club played in the second Swiss division, the Nationalliga B (now known as Swiss Challenge League) from 1946 to 1950 and in the 1953–54 season. At the end of the 1953–54 season, the team finished in second place only behind FC Lugano and was promoted to the first division, the Nationalliga A (now known as the Swiss Super League), for the first time in the club's history. However, the club finished the 1954–55 season in second to last place and was relegated back to the second division after playing just one season in the top flight. In 1955, Thun reached the final of the Swiss Cup, which was lost 1–3 to La Chaux-de-Fonds.

From 1955 to 1970, Thun continuously played in the Nationalliga B, before being relegated to the Swiss 1. Liga, back then the third tier of the Swiss football league system, at the end of the 1969–70 season.

=From third division to Champions League=

In 1995, Andy Egli became the manager of Thun. Two years later, at the end of the 1996–97 season, Thun regained promotion to the Nationalliga B for the first time since 1970. Under manager Georges Bregy, the club took part in the 1999–2000 Nationalliga A/B playoff games, but could not secure promotion to the first league and remained in the Nationalliga B. From July 2001 to December 2004 the team was coached by Hanspeter Latour. Under his management, Thun was promoted to the Nationalliga A after 47 years of absence from the Swiss top flight at the end of the 2001–02 season. After Latour left Thun to coach Grasshopper Club Zürich, Urs Schönenberger was appointed as the new head coach.

Thun finished the 2004–05 season in second place only behind FC Basel and thus became runners-up of the Swiss championship, which was rebranded from Nationalliga A to Swiss Super League by then. This constituted the best league result in the history of the club and also secured the club a place in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League. By beating Dynamo Kyiv (3–2 on aggregate) and Malmö FF (4–0 on aggregate) in the qualifying rounds, FC Thun reached the group stages of the 2005–06 Champions League. They were drawn in Group B alongside Arsenal, Ajax and Sparta Prague. They started their campaign on 14 September 2005 away at Arsenal, where after equalising through Nelson Ferreira, they narrowly lost 2–1 after Dennis Bergkamp scored in the match's final seconds. On 27 September they hosted the Czech champions Sparta Prague at home, the Stadion Wankdorf in Bern, where all the club's European home matches were held, as the Lachen Stadium does not meet Uefa's prerequisites for Champions League venues.{{Citation needed|date=October 2007}} Thun's 1–0 victory thanks to Selver Hodžić's 80th-minute winner propelled them into second place in the group. Following a loss to Ajax on 2 November, they lost 1–0 at home to Arsenal and with Ajax beating Sparta Prague, FC Thun exited the Champions League. However, Thun drew 0–0 with Sparta Prague in their last group match, securing third place in the group and thus qualifying for the UEFA Cup Round of 32.

Despite his success, coach Urs Schönenberger was regarded as a controversial figure by the club management because of his uncompromising nature and communication style.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nzz.ch/articleDL7XT-ld.37206 |title=Der ewig Kompromisslose |publisher=NZZ Online (nzz.ch) |date=19 February 2006 |access-date=12 November 2022 |language=de |archive-date=8 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208060609/https://www.nzz.ch/articleDL7XT-ld.37206 |url-status=live }} Just three days prior to their Uefa Cup tie against Hamburger SV, on 13 February 2006, Thun sacked Schönenberger, who had guided them to the Champions' League group stages and replaced him with Heinz Peischl. In the first leg, Thun managed a surprise 1–0 over Hamburg at the Stade de Suisse. However, Hamburg was too strong at their home, the Volksparkstadion, and managed to overturn the deficit, winning the second leg 2–0 (2–1 on aggregate).

FC Thun finished the 2007–08 season in last place and was subsequently relegated to the second division. Two years later, the club won the 2009–10 Swiss Challenge League and was promoted back to the Super League under head coach Murat Yakin. Yakin led the team to a fifth-place finish in the following season but left Thun to assume the role as head coach of FC Luzern before the start of the 2011–12 season. Under the new coach Bernard Challandes, the team played in the qualifying rounds of the 2011–12 Europa League. After winning against Albanian side KF Vllaznia Shkodër (2–1 on aggregate) and advancing against Italian club US Palermo because of the away goals rule (3–3 on aggregate), Thun lost 1–5 on aggregate to Stoke City in the final play-off round and thus missed qualification for the group stages.{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/14569551 |title=Stoke 4-1 FC Thun |publisher=bbc.com |date=25 August 2011 |access-date=12 November 2022 |archive-date=12 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221112035653/https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/14569551 |url-status=live }}

Urs Fischer took over management of the team in January 2013 and lead FC Thun to a fifth-place finish in the 2012–13 season. In the qualifying rounds of the 2013–14 Europa League, Thun won against Georgian team Chikhura Sachkhere (5–1 on aggregate), Swedish side BK Häcken (3–1 on aggregate) as well as FK Partizan from Serbia (3–1 on aggregate) and thus qualified for the group stages of the competition. They were drawn in Group G against Rapid Wien, KRC Genk and Dynamo Kyiv. In their group, the team won only one out of the six fixtures (1–0 against Rapid Wien) and lost the other five games, finishing last in the group and dropping out of the competition.

After finishing 4th in the 2018–19 Swiss Super League, FC Thun were eligible for the 3rd round UEFA Europa League qualifiers. Drawn against Spartak Moscow, FC Thun lost both legs and 3–5 on aggregate to the Russian team.{{Cite web |title=Spartak Moskva (RUS)FC Spartak Moskva 2 1 Thun (SUI)|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2028075--spartak-moskva-vs-thun/|website=UEFA}}

In 2019, FC Thun reached the final of the Swiss Cup for the second time in the club's history. They lost the game 1–2 against FC Basel.{{Cite web |url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/schweizer-cup/2-1-gegen-thun-basel-holt-13-cupsieg |title=Basel holt 13.

Thun finished the 2019–20 season in second to last place and had to face the runners-up team of the 2019–20 Challenge League, FC Vaduz, in the relegation play-offs. After losing 0–2 in the first leg played away in Rheinpark Stadion, the 4–3 victory in the second leg was not enough to win on aggregate, which meant that FC Thun was relegated to the Swiss Challenge League.{{Cite web |url=https://www.kicker.de/spaetes_aufbaeumen_reicht_nicht_thun_scheitert_an_vaduz_und_steigt_ab-781590/artikel |title=Spätes Aufbäumen reicht nicht: Thun scheitert an Vaduz und steigt ab |publisher=Kicker |date=11 August 2020 |access-date=12 November 2022 |language=de |archive-date=12 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221112034138/https://www.kicker.de/spaetes_aufbaeumen_reicht_nicht_thun_scheitert_an_vaduz_und_steigt_ab-781590/artikel |url-status=live }} In the following season, the club reached second place in the Challenge League and qualified for the promotion play-offs, but lost 4–6 on aggregate against FC Sion and remained in the second division.{{Cite web |url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/super-league/abstieg-in-barrage-vermieden-sion-unterliegt-thun-bleibt-aber-erstklassig |title=Sion unterliegt Thun, bleibt aber erstklassig |publisher=srf.ch |date=30 May 2021 |access-date=12 November 2022 |language=de |archive-date=12 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221112034138/https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/super-league/abstieg-in-barrage-vermieden-sion-unterliegt-thun-bleibt-aber-erstklassig |url-status=live }} Carlos Bernegger remained as manager for the 2021–22 season which saw Thun finish in 5th place.

Under Lustrinelli for the first full season, Thun finished second, three points behind champions FC Sion. They qualified for the promotion playoff against Grasshopper Club Zürich. The first leg of the playoff finished in a draw, and the second leg Thun lost 2–1 at home following an injury time goal from Asumah Abubakar. FC Thun goalscorer Koro Koné was sent off in the 94th minute.{{Cite web |title=GC erkämpft sich in letzter Sekunde ein Unentschieden|url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/super-league/barrage-hinspiel-gc-erkaempft-sich-in-letzter-sekunde-ein-unentschieden|language=DE|website=srf.ch}}{{Cite web |title=GC hält sich gegen starkes Thun in extremis in der Super League|url=https://www.srf.ch/sport/fussball/super-league/siegtor-in-der-nachspielzeit-gc-haelt-sich-gegen-starkes-thun-in-extremis-in-der-super-league|language=DE|website=srf.ch}} Ahead of the 2024–25 season, captain Marco Bürki signed a two year contract extension.{{Cite web |title=Marco Bürki verlängert bis 2026 beim FC Thun|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/marco-buerki-verlaengert-bis-2026-beim-fc-thun|language=DE|website=fcthun.ch}} Daniel Dos Santos was sold to FC Lugano after a 10 goal and 9 assist season.{{Cite web |title=Daniel Dos Santos joins FC Lugano|url=https://www.bluewin.ch/en/sport/daniel-dos-santos-joins-fc-lugano-2255901.html|website=bluewin.ch}} FC Thun made 11 signings in the off-season, including Declan Frith who had played for both Aston Villa and Chelsea academy sides in England, Ashvin Balaruban from Neuchâtel Xamax, Fabio Fehr from FC Vaduz and Genis Montolio who previously played for Villarreal in La Liga.{{Cite web |title=Sunderland, QPR miss out on 22-year-old forward after recent bids|url=https://the72.co.uk/2024/07/11/sunderland-qpr-declan-frith-transfer/|website=the72.co.uk}}{{Cite web |title=Frith und Meichtry unterschreiben beim FC Thun|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/update-kaderplanung-ethan-und-declan|language=DE|website=fcthun.ch}}{{Cite web |title=Update Kaderplanung: Vier Spieler neu beim FC Thun|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/kaderupdate|language=DE|website=fcthun.ch}} In addition, FC Thun were picked as favourites for promotion, and at their final home friendly match versus FC Sochaux revealed their new mascot Münggu a 2m tall marmot.{{Cite web |title=Thun go into the new season as favorites|url=https://www.bluewin.ch/en/index/thun-starts-the-new-season-as-favorites-2290334.html|website=bluewin.ch}}{{Cite web |title=Neues FC Thun Maskottchen|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/muenggu|language=DE|website=fcthun.ch}} In July, FC Thun launched their new home shirts manufactured by Macron and sponsored by Visana.{{Cite web |title=Neue Trikots Saison 24/25|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/trikots-saison-24-25|language=de|website=}}{{Cite web |title=Langfristige Partnerschaft mit Visana|url=https://www.fcthun.ch/de/news/partnerschaft-visana-1|language=DE|website=fcthun.ch}}{{Cite web |title=FC Thun hat neuen Hauptsponsor – und trennt sich vom Investor|url=https://www.thunertagblatt.ch/fc-thun-krankenkasse-visana-ist-neue-hauptsponsorin-689413811449|language=DE|website=thunertagblatt.ch}} They opened the new season with two wins against FC Aarau and FC Vaduz, before a draw with newly relegated Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.

Crest

File:FC Thun Centenary Logo.svg

FC Thun's first crest was a black logo script of the team name, with a prominent football coloured red, black and green. In 1998, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the club's formation, FC Thun used a logo with the name script in black, on a background showing the number 100 in red and yellow.

For the 2010/11 season, following promotion to the Swiss Super League, FC Thun utilised a developed version of their original logo, with yellow added (and green removed) with "Berner Oberland" text added to the lower right side of the football.

The current red and white logo with yellow star has been used since 2011.

Stadiums

From 1945 until 2011, FC Thun played their home matches at Stadion Lachen. The stadium held 10,350 fans in a mixture of standing and seating. FC Thun played their final game at Lachen in May 2011, beating AC Bellinzona 3-1.{{Cite web |title=Abschied vom Stadion Lachen|url=https://www.derbund.ch/abschied-vom-stadion-lachen-647540729236|language=DE|website=derbund.ch}}

In 2005, when FC Thun qualified for the Champions League, they were required to use the Stade de Suisse in Bern.{{Cite web |title=Thun's fairy tale journey to Highbury|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/2365276/Thuns-fairy-tale-journey-to-Highbury.html|website=telegraph.co.uk}}

In 2006, the citizens of Thun refused to finance a new stadium with public funds, leaving FC Thun needing to find alternative investment or risk no longer being eligible to play professional football.{{Cite web |title=Schnappschüsse aus fast 60 Jahren im Lachen|url=https://www.bernerzeitung.ch/schnappschuesse-aus-fast-60-jahren-im-lachen-322149013895|language=DE|website=bernerzeitung.ch}} A private contractor offered to build the stadium with construction work beginning in spring 2010. The stadium would feature a shopping mall. The new stadium - at that time called Arena Thun - was officially inaugurated on 9 July 2011, with a friendly match between 1. FC Köln and FC Thun.{{Cite web |title=Stockhorn Arena|url=https://www.stadiumguide.com/arenathun/|website=stadiumguide.com}} Köln's striker Milivoje Novaković was the first player to score in the new arena, and the game ended in a tie (2:2).{{cite web|url=http://www.fc-koeln.de/news/profis/detailansicht/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=3637&cHash=9517ceb51d735737e356f66018ec9851/v-777836/sa-1008283/a-sa/|title=2:2 gegen den FC Thun|language=de|publisher=fc-koeln.de|access-date=June 18, 2014}} In 2014, Stockhornbahn AG (which runs an aerial cableway to the Stockhorn) began sponsorship of the stadium, which became known as the Stockhorn Arena.{{Cite web |title=Das Thuner Stadion wird zur Stockhorn Arena|url=https://www.bernerzeitung.ch/das-thuner-stadion-wird-zur-stockhorn-arena-960697294484|language=DE|website=bernerzeitung.ch}}
