The treasures of the only sports bookstore in Switzerland

Bubbling, creative, with sometimes a touch of arrogance: the economic capital of the country re-elects its cantonal authorities on February 12, an exercise which prefigures the federal elections in October. Every day this week, we take you on a gastronomic, economic, cultural, political and sporting discovery of unique Zurich.

A treasure is hiding in my backpack, but I ignore it before phoning Gregory Germond. At the end of the line, this bookseller specializing in sport explains to me that he regrets the process of dematerialization of major competitions. “You see, at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar for example, almost nothing was printed. Neither official programme, nor tickets, nor even accreditations for the journalists…” I interrupt him: yes, yes, the journalists had physical accreditation – and even small tickets, credit card size, for each match they wanted to attend. Short silence on the end of the line. “No! And you kept them? And do you have them on you? No!” I send him a picture. “Sensational! A real scoop for collectors!” And also for him, where they come to get their supplies.
