The Zurich Giants may be the youngest club in the Swiss Australian Football League, however we have already built a rich and diverse team based in the heart of Zurich city.

On the 1st of September 2019, the Zurich Giants Australian Football Club was born.The fourth club to join AFL Switzerland, the Zurich Giants were founded after the inaugural season of the league in Switzerland.

Since our earliest days, we have trained regularly and acquired new players through our hard recruitment work. We currently have players from diverse nations, including Switzerland, Australia, Hungary, Spain, America and even Liechtenstein. Our team is mixed with female as well as male players of all ages. Even kids train from time to time with us; the Giants welcome everyone. Besides the sports side of our club, we organise social events for building rapport and getting to know each other better in order to function better on the field as a team.

As of 2021, the Giants have helped build the sport in Switzerland through the development of the Auskick program with the aim of promoting the sport amongst the youth of Switzerland.
