Fussballclub Baden 1897, simply known as FC Baden, is a Swiss football club based in Baden, Canton Aargau, which is a short distance from Zürich. It was founded in 1897. FC Baden has a total of 22 different teams at age levels, including five women's teams. They currently play in the 1st League Classic from 2025 to 2026, the fourth tier of Swiss football after relegation from Promotion League in 2024–25.
History
[edit]
In the 1985–86 season, the club participated in the Swiss Super League but were relegated after finishing last, coming 16th out of 16. After that time the club was in the Swiss Challenge League where they stayed until relegation in the 2005–06 season. Since that time the club have been in the third tier of the Swiss football pyramid. They narrowly lost out on promotion back to the Challenge League at the end of the 2007–08 season and spent sixteen years in the league until their promotion in 2022. Because of the Super League's expansion, two automatic promotion spots existed in the 2022-23 Promotion League season. Baden finished in third, but still got promoted as league winners FC Luzern II were not allowed to get promoted. In the Challenge League, Baden strengthened their squad considerably while retaining most of their promoted squad. As the only semi-professional team in the league, they were able to fight against relegation in the first half of the season, but a collapse in the second half led to relegation. In the subsequent season, suboptimal transfer practices led to Baden fighting against relegation yet again, despite their form improving later on in the campaign, they finished the 2024-25 season in 17th, returning to the 1. Liga Classic.
