This was our 2025

2025 was a year full of highlights for SPORTEGRATION. Our community continued to grow, new regions joined us, and many moments, big and small, showed how powerful sport can be in bringing people together.

On the move:

We took part in running events such as the GP Bern, the GP Winterthur, the SOLA Zurich, the Zurich Marathon, and the Basel City Run with great enthusiasm and many motivated participants. There was also fierce competition on the soccer field, for example at the Surprise Street Soccer Tournament in Bern and the ASK Fun Indoor Tournament in Liestal. As part of our Train with a Pro events, we had the opportunity to get up close and personal with professionals: Daniela Ryf, Jan van Berkel, and Emma Pooley gave exciting insights into their training and shared their enthusiasm for the sport with us.

New offerings & regions:

A major milestone was the launch in the canton of Aargau, where we now offer our first Fitboxing training program. In Bern, we were able to expand our offering for the Tiefenau collective accommodation facility with yoga for women and a mix of sports for young people. In Zurich, we launched Kanzbi, a new language café, a place for language, encounters, and exchange. And in Basel, we strengthened our cooperation with the Federal Asylum Center and expanded it with exercise training for women directly on site. In addition, great new partnerships were formed in all cantons with sports providers and clubs that are opening up their offerings to SPORTEGRATION participants.

Partnerships:

In 2025, we were once again supported by numerous funding partners, whose assistance made all of the highlights of the year possible. Among other things, we were able to take part in On's exciting Right to Run Summit, organize a charity run with the Laureus Foundation, and watch a soccer match played by Grasshopper Club Zurich.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all of our funding partners, supporters, and community partners.

Community engagement:

In addition to the big events, there were many small but no less noteworthy moments: a few participants successfully tried their hand at climbing with Climbaid. During the warmer months, we explored the Swiss Alps on group hikes, and numerous meetings organized by our coaches themselves demonstrated how committed our community is.

Our work also became more visible to the outside world: SRF visited us and produced an exciting report about our work, another step towards bringing the importance of integration through sport to a wider audience.

Many other experiences, events, new contacts, and new courses have shaped the year, and we are grateful for all those moments and encounters.

And here's what we can look forward to in 2026:

Further expanding our services in the canton of Aargau

Strengthening our existing locations

Investing in impact evaluation and quality assurance

Experiencing new training sessions, runs, and community events

Celebrating our 10th anniversary!

and creating many more moving moments with you!

Thank you to everyone who helped shape 2025, we look forward to everything that is to come!
