The setback at Letzigrund does not discourage us: on Wednesday evening, 4 March 2026, on the occasion of the Plan ₿ Match, we return to our stadium in Cornaredo with the firm intention of resuming the run that was interrupted last Sunday in Zurich against Grasshopper. We need three points against FC Sion to stay on Thun's heels, keep pace with St. Gallen and keep Basel, fresh from their success in Lausanne, at a safe distance. The setback against the Grasshoppers must serve as a stimulus to pick up where we left off in recent weeks, marked by an unbeaten run that had brought the Bianconeri back to the top, albeit still some distance behind Lustrinelli's team, which is surprising everyone and smashing several records.
As mentioned, Wednesday's opponent is Didier Tholot's FC Sion, currently fifth in the league with 41 points. They are a dangerous rival, determined to defend their current position, which opens the doors to the Championship Group, with tooth and nail. This goal has become a real possibility for the Valais team, whose ranks include three former Bianconeri players: central defender Kreshnik Hajrizi, full-back Numa Lavanchy and striker Rilind Nivokazi, who has scored 11 goals so far.
We will try to draw inspiration from the festive and celebratory atmosphere that will envelop Cornaredo: we face the Valais team on a special evening dedicated to Lugano's Plan ₿. Now in its third edition, the event celebrates the fourth anniversary of the joint initiative with the City of Lugano, which promotes the adoption of bitcoin, blockchain and decentralised solutions to foster the development of an innovative digital ecosystem in the region.
As part of an increasingly close collaboration, Lugano's Plan ₿ has offered Bianconeri fans a special opportunity: the 700 free tickets for the match against Sion, obtained through a dedicated online quiz, sold out quickly. It was a simple and engaging formula that turned access to the event into a fun game.
During the evening, there will also be special activities and surprises organised by Lugano's Plan ₿ for all fans present at the stadium, including several photo stations inside the stadium: take your selfie, collect the printout and receive a token to redeem a free drink at the refreshment bar offered by Lugano's Plan ₿ (non-alcoholic alternative available).
Once again this year, the 'Lugano's Plan ₿ Match' returns: a special evening in which FC Lugano and its Leading Partner celebrate their journey together, involving fans and enthusiasts in an event that combines sport, entertainment and fun. This will be the backdrop for FC Lugano-FC Sion, and the team will strive to honour it by fighting for every ball to return to success.
