FC Zürich s a Swiss football club that was founded in 1896 by the former players of the local clubs FC Viktoria, FC Excelsior and FC Turicum. The club showed solid results in the domestic championship at the beginning of the 20th century and won the first title of the league in the season 1901/1902. Yet the side could not keep its consistency and starting from the 1920s and up to 1960s rotated between top flight and second division. The team’s fortunes changed in the 1960s when Zürich won seven championships and five Swiss Cups, also reaching the semi-finals of the European Cup in the season 1963/1964 where they were eliminated by Real Madrid.
After winning the league in 1981 the team went into decline and in 1988 was even relegated to the Challenge League. Zürich fans waited for their next major trophy for 25 and in May 2006 the team finally climbed back to the top of the league and clinched the Swiss Super League title.
The major rival of the club is Grasshoppers, the team that is known as an elite one, while Zürich is regarded as the club of the workers.
The home arena of the club is Letzigrund with a capacity of 25,000.
The chairman of the team is Ancillo Canepa.
