He scored the three goals during the test games. [2]

Following his loan period Calapes transferred to Concordia Basel, who at that time played in the second tier of Swiss football. Here he was a regular starter and played for them for three seasons. In summer 2004 Calapes moved on to play for FC Luzern. But soon Calapes had to play in the reserve team and he was released by the club in December 2006. He found his new club FC Thun in April 2008.
