The EVZ ‘Fit4Zug’ campaign was a great success again in 2026.

The six events, held from 27 May to 1 July, were well attended and a resounding success. Ibi Can, Head of Marketing & Sales at EVZ, once again gave a positive assessment: “A great event, despite the heat. There were plenty of participants again and everything went smoothly.” This is also a compliment to Florian Estermann and Seraina Knobel, who were primarily responsible for the project within the EVZ Marketing department.

New to the programme this year: badminton and pickleball, a cross between tennis and padel. Under the motto ‘Moving Together’, participants were keen to try out all the sporting activities on offer. “An average of 45–50 people of all ages took part in the six events – more than last year,” says Florian Estermann. Among the recreational and amateur sports enthusiasts, prominent figures from Zug’s political scene were also spotted: Cantonal Councillor Andreas Hausheer and City Councillor Urs Raschle mingled with the sporty crowd.

As with previous editions of the event, which has been running since 2012, nobody went home empty-handedthis time either . All participants received a water bottle featuring the new EVZ logo. As always, the ice hockey players in attendance took the time to sign autographs and chat with people.

You can find all the highlights from the previous Fit4Zug event series here:

Badmington, 1 July

Last but not least, the badminton training session with BC Zug was on the programme on 1 July. Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, the event had to be moved to the Academy Arena. Also in attendance were EVZ players Luisa Waser, Tobias Geisser and Mara Frey, who treated the participants to a special evening.

Floorball, 24 June

On 24 June, a large number of children, teenagers and adults gathered at Arenaplatz for a group floorball session. The training session was led by players from the Zug United women’s and men’s teams. Also present were EVZ players Colin Lindemann, Nina Harju, Luisa Waser and Alina Marti, who gave the participants tips and provided plenty of sporting highlights.

Off-ice training, 17 June

On 17 June, the EVZ professionals took matters into their own hands. Luisa Waser, Annika Fazokas, Sven Senteler and Elia Riva led an off-ice training session in sweltering heat. State Councillor Andreas Hausheer and City Councillor Urs Raschle were also right in the thick of it. Sport meets politics and the public – an extremely successful evening!

Pickleball, 10 June

A new sport as part of Fit4Zug! On Wednesday 10 June, Mara Frey, Nina Harju, Loris Wey and Nic Balestra gave pickleball a go. The evening was organised by Taurus Zug and Pickleball-Corner.

Football, 3 June

Just before the start of the World Cup, football took centre stage at the EVZ for once. Together with the local football club, Zug 94, we ran a session with the ball. Right in the thick of it: Lara Stalder, Leonie Kutzer and Tobias Geisser.

HIIT training, 27 May

On 27 May, Fit4Zug kicked off with a HIIT session led by the Hochwacht Zug Women’s Sports Club. The EVZ players Lia Egger, Annic Büchi, Nik Petrovic and Livio Stalder also had a great time – and were naturally in high demand at the autograph session.
