The defending Swiss masters, the Calanda Broncos will their 2022 season begin on Sunday, April 3rd Swiss National American Football League, the Thun Tiger.
the Broncoswinner of five Swiss Championships since 2015, attend one tuna team that won Swiss second division in 2021 in a dominating manner with a 9-0 record, scoring 292 points in six regular season games and giving up just 38.
Still, with head coach Geoff Buffum firmly at the helm, Kalanda goes into the season as a favorite and with a new quarterback, Chase Andries DePauw University (NCAA Div III). The 6′, 190 pound native Indianapolis, Indiana, threw for 5,699 yards and 50 touchdowns in his 31 games DePauw. Returning from the 2019 championship title Broncos Teaming up is wide receiver/defensive back Max Gray, who will no doubt be a key target for Andries.
the Thun Tiger will play with an all Swiss Lineup led by veteran quarterback Nicolas Leibundgut. This is an interesting approach, but given the Thun Tiger Youth program has been very successful in recent years and won the Swiss Junior Title in 2020 against the Calanda Broncos, maybe not that surprising. Even if it was difficult for promoted teams from the B division to stay in the elite division, this year could be different.
The game is played in Broncos new temporary stadium Upper Au sports facility Chur, Switzerland. The Broncos’ former home stadium has been demolished and the new stadium won’t be ready until 2025.
