– The LS wants to ride the LHC wave
Lausanne-Sport is hoping for a good turnout this Friday evening against Basel, at La Tuilière, to quickly put an end to the meager suspense that remains in the championship.

Brighton Labeau and LS want to raise their heads by playing at home.

This Friday at 8:30 p.m., when Ludovic Magnin’s squad welcomes FC Basel, it will have been almost a month since their last reception of a Super League club. In the meantime, the Olympic capital will have dreamed of a national title for its hockey team, 4-3 defeat at the end of the suspense by the ZSC Lions in the National League final, and the Vaudois gathered at Malley, where tickets were snapped up. Even the launch of the subscription campaign for next season at the Vaudoise Aréna on Tuesday was an impressive success.
During this time, Lausanne-Sport only played twice and came back empty-handed from Lugano (2-0) and Yverdon (3-1). Both times having time to believe it for only a few moments. The Ticinese already led by two lengths after ten minutes on April 20, while the Nord-Vaudois had planted three in seventeen minutes last weekend. Not the best advertisement to try to convince a Lausanne public who perhaps still have a little stars in their heads, but also a slight hangover in their wallet.

“So on the contrary, I think that the boom of the Lausanne Hockey Club is beneficial for us too, explains Vincent Steinmann, vice-president of Lausanne-Sport. All the positive feedback around professional and high-level sport in our city is good news. It brings people together! And it was a good reminder of what a match can bring to life. It has positive and pleasing side effects.”
La Tuilière in competition with the Ascension
Against FCB, however, LS will face tough competition: a long weekend. At the start of the season, Chris Wolf, the CEO of the LHC, explained to us that one of its main competitors – apart from the immense nightlife offer in the City of Lausanne – when filling the Vaudoise arena was none other than flights low cost from Cointrin. When you can afford a return trip to Barcelona or London for the price of a seat, a sausage and two beers, obviously…
“On Ascension weekend, everything is an excuse to leave Lausanne to do something else. So it’s much more the scheduling of this game against Basel that bothers me than the people leaving the hockey final,” confirms Steinmann, who is still aiming for more than 6,000 people in his stadium.
“And then with Basel, the poster is still exciting, with the possibility of almost ensuring maintenance and why not finishing champion of the relegation group! he laughs. And then it will be the opportunity to prove that we can do something other than in Lugano and Yverdon…” It would be a good start.
