Recipe for success: tradition, team spirit and goals
FC Küsnacht, founded in 1907, now has over 950 members. With 35 teams, it participates in the championships of the Zurich Region Football Association and is committed to supporting footballers of all ages. The FCK is characterized by an active club life, great team spirit and the organization of valuable social events that go beyond traditional match operations. Its local ties are also reflected in the fact that over 85% of the players live or have lived in the catchment communities and almost one in three children/young people aged 6-19 from the municipality of Küsnacht play football at FCK.
Also founded in Küsnacht, Ginesta has always been and still is associated with sport. The continuation of this tradition is also very important to the current company owner Claude Ginesta, a representative of the third generation of the family business. Local youth development is a great opportunity to give something back to the local population and at the same time make a contribution to promoting young talent in the region.

A matter of the heart: Supporting the C-juniors
Since Ginesta has sponsored over 70 C juniors, the teams have already achieved a great deal. For example, the 2023 C1 team finished the 2022/23 season as regional Youth League champions with a spectacular 11:1 victory and secured a semi-final spot in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Championships against FC Frauenfeld. The continuous development and expansion of the C-Junior level at FCK led to top positions in the respective strength class for all three teams in the 2023/24 season. We are just as proud of this as we are of the fact that we were able to extend the sponsorship agreement for the coming season. A commitment to the region and a valuable signal to children and young people that club sport is also seen by the economy as an important investment in the future of our country and is supported accordingly.
In August, the sponsorship agreement for the 2024/25 season was signed by Claude Ginesta, CEO, and Thomas Frei, FCK President.
