Swiss Free Bowling Association

The Swiss Free Bowling Association (SFKV) was founded on April 20, 1952 in Olten, SO.

It consists of a central association with 19 sub-associations and a cantonal association, which organize the administrative and sporting club operations in the sense of the SFKV statutes with far-reaching autonomy. The sub-associations hold an annual championship every year, which consists of four to ten individual bowling championships . Various other events (e.g. individual cup, club cup, external championships) are also organized depending on the sub-association. Upgrading or downgrading to categories A, B and C takes place autonomously in the sub-associations. The Swiss Free Bowling Association is responsible for staging bowling events of national importance. The following events are held annually: Swiss Championship, Swiss Individual Cup, Swiss Club Cup, sub-association team competition and the Swiss Senior and Veterans Championship. The idea of ​​the association is to promote and spread bowling in Switzerland, to maintain camaraderie and sociability in the context of social activities.
