Firmly rooted in the annals of Swiss football history, Young Boys came into existence in the year of 1898. Their home ground, the Stadion Wankdorf, is a hallowed sanctuary for the footy faithful of Switzerland.
Valuation of the Young Boys' playing squad sits around £52m - no insignificant sum, even in today's inflated market. This is according to the diligent folk at Transfermarkt, a trusted source for such matters.
Having a squad of 18 players represents a decent depth for a club the size of Young Boys. With an average age of 25, there's a fine balance of youthful zest and seasoned nous among their ranks.
This season, one could hardly accuse Young Boys of lacking ambition, having thrown their hats into the ring for four separate competitions. As of this writing, they find themselves in sixth place in the Super League, having also ventured into the second round of the Coupe de Suisse. Not content with domestic challenges, they sought continental conquest in the form of the Europa League Qualifiers and league phase.
