FC Zürich

The club was founded in summer 1896 by former members of the two local clubs: FC Turicum and FC Excelsior. Later, the official founding date was set at 1 August 1896. One of the founding members was the later Barcelona founder Joan Gamper, who coached and played for FC Excelsior and its successor from 1894 to 1897.{{cite web|url=https://fcwinterthur1896.com/gamper/|title=Biography on fcwinterthur1896.com|author=|website=fcwinterthur1896.com|access-date=15 September 2017|archive-date=15 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180815055312/https://fcwinterthur1896.com/gamper/|url-status=dead}} The new club played its first game on 30 August 1896 on Velorennbahn Hardau in Zurich against St. Gallen, which resulted in a 3–3 draw.{{cite web|title=Erinnerung an unser erstes Matsch|url=https://www.fcz.ch/de/ueber-uns/news/2019/erinnerung-unser-erstes-matsch/|website=fcz.ch|access-date=8 February 2019|archive-date=29 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729021932/https://www.fcz.ch/de/ueber-uns/news/2019/erinnerung-unser-erstes-matsch/|url-status=dead}} In 1898, FC Excelsior merged with FC Zürich, and local club FC Victoria joined shortly thereafter.

The debut game was in 1896 with the colours blue and white.{{cite web|title=Erinnerung an unser erstes Matsch|url=https://www.fcz.ch/de/ueber-uns/news/2019/erinnerung-unser-erstes-matsch/|website=fcz.ch|access-date=8 February 2019|archive-date=29 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210729021932/https://www.fcz.ch/de/ueber-uns/news/2019/erinnerung-unser-erstes-matsch/|url-status=dead}} The colours were changed to red and white because rivals Grasshopper Club Zurich had the same colours. When Grasshoppers temporarily retired from the championship in 1909, FCZ returned to the colors blue and white, which they continue to use.{{cite book| last = Lütscher | first =Michael | title =Eine Stadt, ein Verein, eine Geschichte | publisher = Verlag Neue Zürcher Zeitung | year = 2010| page = 47| isbn = 9783038236436}} Zürich won its first title in the Swiss Serie A in 1901–02, but did not win it again until 1923–24.

Until the 1930s, the club's sporting remit included rowing, boxing, athletics and handball, but football would become the focus of the club.

Zürich struggled to overcome an unsuccessful record and was described as the "wilderness years" from 1925 to 1960.{{Cite web |date=2023-05-31 |title=wilderness years - Political Dictionary |url=https://politicaldictionary.com/words/wilderness-years/ |access-date=2023-06-06 |website= |language=en-US |archive-date=12 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112130147/https://politicaldictionary.com/words/wilderness-years/ |url-status=live }} They were relegated in 1933–34, playing in the 1. Liga until the 1941 season. In 1940–41, they returned to the Nationalliga, where they stayed until their relegation in 1945–46. They were back in the Nationalliga A in 1947–48 and stayed in the top flight until relegated in 1956–57. They were promoted from the Nationalliga B to contest the 1958–59 Nationalliga A, finishing in third place.

This period was known as the "Golden Years" by the FCZ faithful. At this time, the club was run by the president Edwin Nägeli and had players such as Köbi Kuhn, Fritz Künzli, Ilija Katić, René Botteron and many more. Zürich won seven championships in the years 1963, 1966, 1968, 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1981. They also won the Swiss Cup five times: in 1966, 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1976. FCZ also had much success internationally in reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup 1963–64, before losing to Real Madrid and also reaching the semi-finals in the European Cup 1976–77, where they lost to Liverpool.

Following the club's league title in 1981, the club went into a decline, and in 1988 they were relegated to the Nationalliga B. Zürich returned to the top league in 1990. The club did make it to last 16 of the UEFA Cup 1998–99, but were beaten by Roma. The club won the Swiss Cup in 2000, beating Lausanne in the final. They won it again in 2005, beating Luzern.

On 13 May 2006, FCZ ended their 25-year effort to win Super League with a goal in the 93rd minute by Iulian Filipescu against Basel. The goal gave FCZ a 2–1 victory based on goal difference. They retained the title in 2006–07.

In 2008, the local women's team, FFC Zürich Seebach, was combined with FC Zürich and played in the Swiss national league under the name FC Zürich Frauen.

In the 2007–08 season, FCZ finished in third place. In a 2008–09 season match, they edged past Young Boys to win the league title. In 2009, they made their debut play in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. In the 2010–11 season, FCZ finished second. The following seasons, they finished mostly in mid-table positions. FCZ won the Swiss Cup 2014 in extra time against Basel 2–0.

In the 2015–16 season, the club finished last, one point behind Lugano, and was relegated to the Swiss Challenge League. Four days after the final game of the season, FCZ won the Swiss Cup 2016, beating Lugano 1–0.

In the 2016–17 season, FC Zürich won the Challenge League ahead of Neuchâtel Xamax, and returned after one year to the Super League. In the 2017–2018 season they finished fourth. On 27 May 2018, they won the Swiss Cup for the tenth time, beating Young Boys 2–1.

In the 2021–2022 season, FC Zürich won the Super League again after an interruption of thirteen years. The club secured its thirteenth league title with a 2–0 away win over Basel, who finished second, with five rounds to go. Despite this success, coach André Breitenreiter departed the club to join Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim.{{cite web|url=https://www.fcz.ch/en/first-team/news/2022/personliche-stellungnahme-abgang-breitenreiter/|title=Personal statement on the departure of André Breitenreiter|website=FC Zürich|language=de|date=24 May 2022|access-date=3 June 2022|archive-date=19 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220619103110/https://www.fcz.ch/en/first-team/news/2022/personliche-stellungnahme-abgang-breitenreiter/|url-status=dead}} On 8 June 2022, former Austrian national coach Franco Foda was announced as the coach for the upcoming season.{{cite web|url=https://www.bluewin.ch/de/sport/super-league/franco-foda-wird-neuer-fcz-trainer-1251344.html|title=Der FC Zürich stellt Franco Foda als neuen Trainer vor|website=bluewin.ch|language=de|date=8 June 2022|access-date=8 June 2022|archive-date=26 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221226033532/https://www.bluewin.ch/de/sport/super-league/franco-foda-wird-neuer-fcz-trainer-1251344.html|url-status=live}} Despite being able to guide Zürich into the Europa League group stages, the domestic campaign saw the side gain only two points out of a possible 24 in their title defence. The league form, combined with a shock cup defeat to Challenge League side Lausanne on 18 September, proved the final straw and Foda was sacked on 21 September.{{cite web|url=https://www.lematin.ch/story/franco-foda-nest-plus-lentraineur-fc-zurich-243251924124|title=Football: Franco Foda n'est plus l'entraîneur du FC Zurich|website=lematin.ch|language=fr|date=21 September 2022|access-date=21 September 2022|archive-date=3 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221203215802/https://www.lematin.ch/story/franco-foda-nest-plus-lentraineur-fc-zurich-243251924124|url-status=live}}

Grasshoppers, also from Zürich, and Basel are the main rivals of FCZ. Due to the intense rivalry, these matches are so-called high-risk fixtures, with an increased police presence in and around the stadium.

{{Main|Zurich derby}}

Since its inception, FCZ has always had a fiery relationship with neighbouring club Grasshopper over sporting supremacy in the city.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}

To date, 251 official derbies have been held, with Grasshoppers leading with 121 wins to FC Zurich's 90, leaving 39 draws; however, since the reformation of the Swiss Super League in 2003, FCZ has frequently gotten the better of their city rivals, winning 33 out of 68 games (GC won 20 and 15 draws).

The October 2011 derby at Letzigrund was abandoned by the referee after rioting by FC Zürich fans. Earlier in the day, Grasshopper Club Zurich fans stole FC Zürich fan banners and displayed them with a message mocking FC Zürich.{{Cite web |title=02.10.11: Schande von Zürich: FCZ-Fan wirft Fackel in GC-Sektor und erzwingt Spielabbruch |url=https://www.watson.ch/!435005929 |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=Watson |language=de}}

{{Main|2006 Basel hooligan incident}}

Before the last round of the 2005–06 Swiss Super League, Zürich were three points behind Basel in the league table. The last game of the season was contested by these two clubs vying for the league title at St. Jakob Park, Basel. Alhassane Keita scored the match first goal, for Zürich. In the second half, Mladen Petrić equalised. Basel were seconds away from the title when, in the 93rd minute, Florian Stahel passed the ball to Iulian Filipescu, who scored. Zürich's success at 2–1 was attributed to their superior goal difference. Following the final whistle, Basel supporters stormed the pitch and attacked players on both teams.

In 2010, the youth and women's teams of the club moved their homebase to the Heerenschürli sport park, in the city quarter of Hirzenbach, where the academy and women's teams play also their home matches. In June 2022, the club moved with the opening of a newly built "House of FCZ" also their Super League team and offices there in order to have the whole organisation under one roof.{{cite web |url=https://www.nau.ch/sport/fussball/fc-zurich-weiht-sein-schmuckes-house-of-fcz-ein-66212304 |title=FC Zürich weiht sein schmuckes 'House of FCZ' ein |website=nau.ch |access-date=11 October 2022 |archive-date=12 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112130150/https://www.nau.ch/sport/fussball/fc-zurich-weiht-sein-schmuckes-house-of-fcz-ein-66212304 |url-status=live }}
