FC Lugano is pleased to announce the signing of German goalkeeper Felix Gebhardt. The 24-year-old joins from SSV Jahn Regensburg in the 3. Liga in Germany. Gebhardt was trained at FC Basel, where he played for the U19 and U21 teams under Germano Vailati. In the 2022/23 season, he was loaned to Hallescher FC in the 3. Liga, where he gained valuable experience as a starting goalkeeper, playing 36 games and keeping 10 clean sheets. In the summer of 2023, he signed a three-year contract with SSV Jahn Regensburg and quickly established himself as the number one goalkeeper, contributing significantly to the team's promotion to the 2. Bundesliga. Gebhardt has also been part of the German youth national teams and has played 10 international games for the U16, U17, U18, and U20 teams of the German Football Association. Sebastian Pelzer, Chief Sports Officer of FC Lugano: «With the signing of Felix Gebhardt, we strengthen our squad with a goalkeeper who has already gained valuable experience in professional football. In recent years, he has impressively demonstrated his qualities as a starting goalkeeper in Germany and has developed well in a challenging competitive environment – both technically and in terms of his personality and maturity. Thanks to his long-term training at FC Basel, Felix is familiar with Swiss football, which will make his integration into our environment even easier. We are very pleased to welcome him to FC Lugano and are convinced that he will make a significant contribution to achieving our sporting goals». FC Lugano welcomes Felix warmly and wishes him all the best in the Bianconeri jersey.
