Overview

Basel played a total of 28 matches in their 1921–22 season. 14 of these were in the domestic league, one in the newly created Och Cup (that was considered as the forerunner to the Swiss Cup) and 13 were friendly matches. Of these 13 friendlies, seven were home games played in the Landhof and six were away games. Four test games ended in a victory, four were drawn and five ended in a defeat. In these tests Basel scored a total of 26 goals and conceded 33.[1]

The domestic league, Swiss Serie A 1921–22, was divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West, each group with eight teams. FC Basel and the two other teams from Basel Nordstern and Old Boys were allocated to the Central group. The other teams playing in this group were Aarau, Luzern and Biel-Bienne and the two teams from the capital, Young Boys and FC Bern. FC Basel played a mediocre season, 14 matches, winning six matches, drawing three and suffering five defeats, scoring 20 goals and conceding 21. With 15 points they ended the season in third position. Kuhn was the team's top league goal scorer with 8 goals. In the home game against Luzern on 27 November 1921 he managed a hattrick.[2] Despite this Luzern won the group and continued to the finals.[3] Servette won the championship.
