Their victory (2-1) in the series of Finals against Näfels interrupted their ten-year pause; their last shield traces back to 2007/2008. The Club which makes reference to Lausanne (a city on the lake of Geneva) is among the most important ones of the entire nation and also because it can count on its prize records and on the four Swiss Cups and the two Super Cups.
