Christian Fassnacht

Christian Fassnacht of Young Boys was born on 11 November 1993 (age 32).

Christian Fassnacht, born on 11 November 1993 (age 32), is a Switzerland international right winger whose career is tied most clearly to Young Boys. There are other lines on the CV, but none with anything like the same weight.

At Young Boys, Fassnacht has made 233 league appearances across nine seasons, scoring 87 league goals. That is a substantial body of work for a wide player, and it explains why he remains more than a familiar name in Bern. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

He has not drifted into the background either. In 2025–26, wearing squad number 16, he made 33 Super League appearances and scored 18 goals, his most productive league season. Across all competitions for Young Boys, he played 41 times and scored 19 goals, including seven Europa League appearances and one goal.

Fassnacht has also remained involved with Switzerland, making two appearances in European World Cup qualifying during the same season. His career is not hard to place: a Swiss international wide player, long established at Young Boys, and still a regular contributor rather than a name being carried by reputation.

Christian Fassnacht had a high-output 2025-26 Super League season for Young Boys, making 33 appearances, starting 27 times and scoring 18 goals. That return pointed to a wide player carrying a major attacking load rather than operating as a peripheral creator, with his discipline also controlled – two yellows and no reds.

Fassnacht's career followed a largely Swiss pathway before a move to England and then a return to Young Boys. He progressed from Winterthur to Thun, built his strongest body of work at Young Boys, joined Norwich City in 2023 and was back in Bern by January 2025. At 32, his scoring levels at Young Boys – 11 goals in 2024-25 and 18 in 2025-26 – suggested he remained effective after the Norwich spell.

The transfer history showed one clear paid move and several undisclosed deals. Norwich City signed Fassnacht from Young Boys for a 2.6m fee in July 2023, but Young Boys brought him back on undisclosed terms in January 2025. The move to Norwich represented the step away from Switzerland; the return looked like a shift back into a familiar, productive role.
