"It is comforting for all of us that Sven was allowed to pass away peacefully after a long illness," wrote the current FCZ president, Ancillo Canepa.
Hotz was elected president of FCZ in 1986 and stepped down 20 years later. During his time in office, he celebrated two cup wins and one championship title with the club. The former FCZ junior had previously served as vice president, board member and secretary.
In addition to his work in football, the trained bricklayer Hotz was also a real estate developer.
