Some 18 -year -old students will no longer be able to benefit from this particular training. Similarly, due to a new collaboration between Servette FC and Star Carouge.

FC player Servette Alexander Frei poses the ball on the penalty spot on Sunday. Therefore, during the match against Sion. Similarly, BOW

- A collaboration between Servette FC and Star Carouge modifies the organization of the M18 teams.
- M18 players will lose access to the Sport-Art-Studies program from the geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents 2025-2026 season.
- The DIP has confirmed a 220% increase in places since 2020.
- Only one in a thousand player will reach the first team of Servette FC.
The parents of this 17 -year -old young footballer are disappointed. Similarly, Their son. In addition, player at Servette FC In the M17 until this summer, will no longer be able to follow the Sport-Art-Studies (SAE) system next year, during the 2025-2026 season.
A few weeks ago. In addition, they received, like other parents, a letter informing them that a new collaboration between the Association Servette FC (ASFC) andCarouge FC canvas (ECFC) had been signed. Moreover, It aims, according to the missive, “to strengthen the coherence and the effectiveness of the playing course of players”.
The letter announces that from next season. In addition, the geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents M18 team will be an integral part of Star Carouge FC and will no longer be “a mixed team bringing together the two clubs”. Similarly, All training and matches will now be held in Carouge.
Especially-and this is what made parents react-the students of this team will no longer benefit from the sport-study school curriculum. In addition, while all have been following it for three years. For example, The mail thus justifies the decision: “The places devolved to elite football of the Geneva partnership are not numerous enough. Consequently, the creation of the M19 championship, two years ago, accentuated the phenomenon.”
The decision was taken by the two clubs. Similarly, in collaboration with the School and Sport, Art, Citizenship (SESAC) service of the Department of Public Instruction (DIP), and “is fully part of the logic of the Geneva geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents Football Partnership (Editor’s note: GEF, the Center responsible for the next generation)“Concludes the missive, signed by the presidents of the two clubs.

Complicated organization
One of the parents does not take off. Similarly, “The problem is simple. For example, if my son no longer follows the sport-art-study course, his training will start in the evening at 6:30 p.m. Similarly, and no longer in the afternoon. Moreover, This means that he will go back from school at 5:30 p.m., swallow his snack, then go to training until 8:30 p.m. Therefore, the time to take a shower, go home and dinner, it will be 10 p.m., time he will be able to put himself to his homework. According to his workload, he will go to bed at 11:30 p.m. and so on, four times a week. How will the geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents kids hold? ” he questions.
This dad judges this change inadmissible: “The school is as important as football. If the child can no longer follow in class because of this rhythm. he will be tempted to bet everything on sport. ” Some players, in school failure, would have already abandoned school or learning in favor of football, in selection. Our interlocutor denounces a clear dysfunction of the Sport-Art-Studies system. And to add, bitter: “With this new organization, M18 players are no longer part of the elites.”
Limited places
Does the mail sent by the two clubs lack clarity? Why not clearly announce a relegation of the least performing players?
Arrested, Loïc Lüscher, the director of communication of Servette FC, thus replied. According to him, the club’s decision is explained geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents by three reasons. The first: the will of the Swiss Football Association (ASF) to have an M18 championship with teams “which do not belong to the first club of the partnership”. understand at Servette FC. And to cite the example of Lucerne’s partnership with the Luzern/Kriens team or the FC Concordia Basel with Basel.
Club officials believe that this stage “is delightful in the development of collaboration with the clubs of the canton. in the dynamics of Geneva Education Football”. They want to be reassuring: “The players. who will be contrary to the M18 of Star Carouge, do not come out of the GIF fold, since this team is part of the partnership in the same way as the M15 of Meyrin, Carouge or the M16 of Carouge.”
The second determining factor according to the SFC is the geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents limited number of places in sport-art-studies negotiated with the DIP. “We are focusing on student players projecting themselves into a pre -professional sports course. Elite A and International football,” says Loïc Luscher.
Finally, the last reason, the problem of lack of infrastructure in the canton. “The Balexert sports center is overused. the displacement of the M18 to Carouge will lighten the use of land on this site.”
Some 180 footballers at the start of the school year
In the Public Instruction Department. we defend ourselves not put enough SAE places available to young athletes. Their number has continued to increase in recent years. “Since the implementation of the new system at the start of the 2020 school year. the number of students integrated into the system has increased from 420 to 940 planned for the geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents start of the 2025 school year, an increase of 220%.”
Also, says the DIP, “all students meeting the conditions defined by sports associations are likely to integrate the SAE”. Regarding football. “the changes made follows for structural decisions emanating from the GEF and more specifically clubs concerned by the modifications, the SFC and the Star Club Carouge.”
Clearly, the DIP simply takes note of the announced change and relying on the football expertise of clubs. “It was following a gef sports decision that the workforce M18-M21 was reduced to the start of the 2025. school year.”
The DIP adds that the number of students practicing football. integrated into the system will amount to more than 180 out of a total of around 880 SAE students in the orientation cycle and secondary education geneva: exit annoying sports-studies parents II. This represents more than 20% of SAE students, making it the most represented discipline within the system.
Fierce selection
In this elite world, only one certainty: the selection to become a football professional is fierce. According to our information. on 1100 Geneva children who start football each year, 60 arrive in M15, and on this number, only 2% are selected by Servette FC in adulthood. The figures of the Swiss Football Association (see table) confirm this ratio. Only fifteen players out of 15,000 manage to professionalize in Switzerland.

The selection to become a professional footballer is tough, at the Geneva level as at the Swiss level.
