Servette FC Talent Takes Center Stage During International Break
Coming off a whirlwind March that saw the Grenat secure the third Swiss Cup title in the club’s history, Servette FC has entered the international break with significant momentum. The pause in club competition provides a spotlight for several players who have earned call-ups to represent their national teams, highlighting the depth and growing international profile of the squad.
For many of the players, this window is more than just a break from league play; it is the culmination of a breakout period. The club’s recent success on the domestic front has translated into individual recognition on the global stage, with several athletes stepping into senior roles for the first time.
Amina Muratovic’s Dream Month
Few players have experienced a more rapid ascent than Amina Muratovic. The young Servette star has capped off a remarkable March by receiving her first-ever call-up to the Swiss national team (the Nati). Her rise has been meteoric: in the span of a few days, Muratovic won the Swiss Cup, was named the Player of the Month for March, and earned her spot with the senior national squad.
Muratovic joins the Swiss team to prepare for a critical double-header against Turkey as part of the qualifiers for the 2027 World Cup. The schedule for these encounters is as follows:
- Switzerland vs. Turkey: April 14 at 19:00 local time
- Turkey vs. Switzerland: April 18 at 18:00 local time
Youth Prospects Eye Euro U19 Qualification
The club’s commitment to youth development is evident in the call-ups of Laubscher and Wallin, both of whom have joined the Switzerland U19 squad. The duo is competing in a mini-tournament held on home soil in Bienne and Vevey, fighting for a place at the Euro U19 tournament scheduled for June 26 to July 10 in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The U19 schedule includes three home matches open to the public:
- Wales vs. Switzerland: April 9 at 13:00 (Tissot Arena, Bienne)
- Switzerland vs. Latvia: April 12 at 13:00 (Stade Copet, Vevey)
- Switzerland vs. England: April 15 at 13:00 (Tissot Arena, Bienne)
Global Reach: From Croatia to Algeria
Servette’s international influence extends well beyond the Swiss border. Jelencic is currently representing Croatia, preparing for a double confrontation against Gibraltar. Following a victory over Bulgaria and a loss to Kosovo, Croatia looks to secure six points against a Gibraltar side that has struggled in its opening two matches, conceding 11 goals.
Jelencic’s schedule includes:
- Gibraltar vs. Croatia: April 14 at 19:00 local time
- Croatia vs. Gibraltar: April 18 at 16:30 local time
Adding to the club’s diversity is Sofia Bekhaled, who has received her first call-up for the Algerian national team. Bekhaled joined Servette on loan from OL Lyonnes at the start of 2026, and her immediate impact has already earned her a place in the Algerian squad.
Return to Club Action
While the international break allows these players to hone their skills on the world stage, the club’s focus will soon return to domestic competition. Following the conclusion of the international window, Servette FC is scheduled to return to the pitch for a Super League match. The Grenat will travel to the Stockhorn Arena to face FC Thoune in the 9th matchday of the season.
