"PROUD TO WITNESS SUCH A GREAT SEASON START"

Last weekend, owner Jenny Wang arrived in Zürich to experience firsthand the club's environment and witness the season opener against Lugano.

It was a strong debut from Grasshopper Club Zürich, which Jenny Wang could witness on Sunday afternoon at Stadium Letzigrund. The Grasshoppers delivered a convincing performance against the reigning Swiss Cup Champion, which saw the Hoppers gain three points in the first official match of the season thanks to a 2-1 home win.

Jenny Wang was thrilled about the first three points of the season. "This is the sign that the club is heading in the right direction”, she said. “It was an exciting match and I really enjoyed the atmosphere in the stadium. Despite the very hot temperatures, the support from the attending fans was incredible. With their energy, they pushed the team to the victory."

“We thank them for always being there,” she added. “It is very important that we grow our fan base and further increase the number of spectators throughout the season. We need to keep engaging with the local community and strengthen our presence in Zurich.”

During her brief stay in Zürich, Jenny Wang also visited the GC/Campus, where she could take a closer look at the training centre and meet the first team staff, as well as several other members of the club management.

"It’s encouraging to see so many passionate people working hard for Grasshoppers. If the club has constantly progressed in the last two years, it is also thanks to the excellent team spirit on and off the pitch. After my time here in Zurich, I am even more confident that in the coming years we can reach our ambitious goal to establish Grasshopper Club Zürich again as one of the top clubs in Switzerland.” she continued.

Jenny Wang left Zurich on Monday afternoon and really appreciated the opportunity to get to know the club and its people from a personal perspective. “I have been looking forward to this visit for a long time. Even if I am in regular exchange with President Sky Sun, being here in person was a great opportunity for me, as it allowed me to experience firsthand the atmosphere and the environment around the club. I thank everyone for the warm welcome and I am looking forward to meeting the team in Zurich again soon.”

Grasshopper Club Zürich appreciated the visit of Jenny Wang and hope to welcome her back to Zurich soon again.
