FC St. Gallen, founded in 1879, is the oldest Swiss football club, but has won only two league titles (Swiss Super League: 1904, 2000) and one Swiss Cup (1969). It was relegated to the second division twice in the 2000s, but has stabilized its position in the top flight for the last ten years. Its home matches are played at the 19,694-seat Kybunpark, formerly known as AFG Arena.

Fact

Kevin Csoboth joined the Hungarian Újpest FC in 2022, competing in the NB I, the top flight of Hungarian football league system. He then debuted in the Hungary national football team against Estonia in a friendly match on March 23, 2023. He entered the pitch on the 76th minute as a substitute for Dominik Szoboszlai. Now, the two-time FC St. Gallen, have signed Csoboth. According to reports from Switzerland, the purchase price of the striker could exceed EUR 1 million, a record for Újpest FC, as the club has never received such a sum for a Hungarian player. Csoboth’s announcement was also urgent for the Swiss team in order to compete in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, with the Swiss hosting Poland’s WKS Śląsk Wrocław on Wednesday.
