Northeastern Swiss Wrestling Festival 2025
Description
June 29, 2025
The elite wrestlers of north-eastern Switzerland will meet at the gates of the city of St.Gallen, nestled in the magnificent landscape between Alpstein and Lake Constance, for the big showdown before the “Eidgenössisches” in Glarus.
45 years after the 1980 Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival was held on the St.Gallen Kreuzbleiche, the Gründenmoos stadium, located directly next to the home stadium of FC St.Gallen, offers the perfect infrastructure for the North-East Swiss Wrestling Festival. The top local wrestlers around Damian Ott, Werner Schlegel, Samuel Giger, Armon Orlik, Domenic Schneider and Roger Rychen will meet a total of eight “bad boys” from the other Swiss federations. The 160 NOS wrestlers will do their utmost to ensure that the winner of the festival comes from their own ranks. The attractive prize temple with numerous live prizes will play its part in motivating the wrestlers.
The offer on site The wrestling arena with five wrestling rings is located on the grounds of the Gründenmoos stadium, where the Nations Cup of the CSIO St.Gallen, one of the most prestigious equestrian events in Switzerland, takes place every year. The existing stadium grandstand will be supplemented by mobile stands, so that all fans of wrestling will have the best view of the exciting duels in the sawdust. The marquees with their food and drink offerings with plenty of local color are located right next to the wrestling arena and the distances to the lunch banquet and the temple of gifts are also short.
St. Gallen as an event location The Olma city of St.Gallen is looking forward to this wrestling highlight. The organizing committee and the Schwingerverband St.Gallen und Umgebung are looking forward to thrilling wrestling and a large turnout of wrestlers from all over Switzerland.
