Stade Alphonse Theis
Alphonse Theis, who ran Эсперанж, died in 1999 — the same year FC Свифт Эсперанж moved in and began playing here. Two years later, when a new stand went up as part of a wider rebuild of the site, the club's ground stopped being Стад Холлешбьерг and became Стад Альфонс Тейс.
The record crowd came on 19 November 2002, when 2,751 people watched the national side play Кабо-Верде in a friendly. The others in that sequence were smaller and tell their own story about who travelled: 1,800 for Латвия earlier the same year, 1,653 for Лихтенштейн, 1,300 for Албания. Канада brought 811 in 2005, Молдова 623 in 2003, Гамбия 520 in 2007.
The club's own high point predates the move here by a decade. Свифт took the Кубок Люксембурга in 1989/90, drawing 3:3 with АС Дифферданж and winning 7:1 on penalties — the first cup in the club's history, and won elsewhere. In 2023/24 they reached the final again and lost to ФК Прогресс Нидеркорн, also on penalties. That match was played at Стад де ла Фронтьер in Эш-сюр-Альзет, where Люксембург finals are held.
