Switzerland: Calanda Broncos sign Swedish receiver William Bargot for 2027 season
The Calanda Broncos have added another promising international talent to their roster, signing Swedish wide receiver William Bargot for the 2027 Swiss National League season.
The 20-year-old joins the Broncos after an impressive campaign with the Stockholm Mean Machines, bringing size, physicality and a knack for finding the end zone to one of Switzerland’s most successful football programs.
A rising talent from Sweden
Bargot enjoyed a productive 2026 season in the Swedish Superserien, recording 20 receptions for 230 yards and five touchdowns in eight regular-season games.
Averaging 11.5 yards per reception, the 6-foot-1, 187-pound receiver demonstrated his ability to make plays in the passing game while helping the Mean Machines reach the Swedish championship game.
His postseason included a standout performance against the Örebro Black Knights, catching eight passes for 134 yards and a touchdown in a 27–24 semifinal victory.
International experience adds to résumé
Bargot also brings valuable international experience, having spent two seasons as a starter for Sweden’s junior national team. He scored three touchdowns in four international appearances and earned MVP honors in a bronze medal game.
His résumé also includes a silver medal with Sweden’s national team in the 2025 European championship.
Broncos strengthen their receiving corps
The Broncos are coming off another successful campaign, capturing the 2026 Central European Football League championship before falling 14–3 to the Bern Grizzlies in the Swiss Bowl.
Bargot’s arrival provides another weapon for a team determined to remain among Europe’s elite.
With international experience and a physical playing style, the Swedish receiver will look to make an immediate impact in 2027.
