Villa Longchamp Ouchy , in many publications Villa Longchamp Lausanne , was a football club from Lausanne in the 1890s. The association is one of the founding members of the SFV.

It was a boarding school team that mainly consisted of English students and teachers from the private school of the same name.

chronology

On October 7, 1893, the German football pioneer Walther Bensemann , who had studied in Lausanne for some time and was familiar with local football, brought the team to Karlsruhe , where they played against a southern German team and lost 2-1. The Berlin newspaper Spiel und Sport presented the Lausanne team as “one of the best clubs on the European continent”.

The club was a founding member of the “Swiss Football Association” (SFA; from 1913 Swiss Football Association SFV) founded in 1895 , even though it stayed away from the founding meeting without excuse.

In 1897/1898 the team took part in the first Swiss championship, which today is unofficially valid at the SFV, the championship for the Ruinart cup . After victories against FC Yverdon and the Lausanne Football and Cricket Club , the club took part in the final round. On March 19, 1898, they lost the match in Zurich against the Grasshoppers Zurich , who were Swiss champions after another win against La Châtelaine Genève .

As of spring 1898, 25 active participants are documented.
