Overview

The Swiss Serie A season 1903–04 was divided into three regional groups, east, central and west. Basel were allocated to the central group together with the Young Boys, FC Bern, Floria Biel/Bienne,and two further teams from Basel Old Boys Basel and Fortuna Basel. FC Basel ended their ten games with five victories, two draws and three defeats in third position in the league table, obtaining 12 points, scoring 28 and conceding 25 goals. The Young Boys and the Old Boys ended level on points and so a play-off match was arranged. The Old Boys won the play-off 3–2 and therefore qualified for the finals, in which FC St. Gallen won their first championship title.

Daniel Hug (the teams most prominent, their best and their largest player) was named as team captain. Together with goalkeeper Hofer, the players Schorpp, Strauss, Pfeiffer, Thalmann und Hasler, Hug was one of many early national team players who came from the Basel team.
