Matia Birchler is an EVZ homegrown talent. The goalkeeper recently signed a professional contract with EVZ with the aim of gaining match practice in the Sky Swiss League in the 2026/27 season. With the transfer to Visp, this has now been finalised.
Birchler will graduate from Zug’s The Hockey Academy in the summer and will complete his summer training in central Switzerland. If necessary, the EVZ can bring Birchler back to Zug at any time during the coming season. As already communicated, Leonardo Genoni and Mathieu Croce will form the EVZ goalie duo for the 2026/27 season.
EVZ wishes Matia Birchler a successful season in Visp!
