Overview

The former Hungarian international footballer Gyula Kertész was coach/manager for the second successive season. He coached the team in a total of 41 matches in their 1929–30 season. 20 of these matches were in the domestic league, 16 in the qualification round and four in the final round. Four matches were in the Swiss Cup and 17 games were friendly matches. Of these 17 friendlies three were played at home in the Landhof and the other 14 were away games. At the end of the season Basel played a tour in Germany (one game in Leipzig) and five games in Norway. As stated, a total of 41 matches, 25 victories, six drawn and 10 defeats, 132 goals scored and 75 against.[1]

The 1929–30 Swiss Serie A was divided into three regional groups, each group with nine teams. Due to the modification in the league system in the following season. The number of teams per group is to be increased from nine to eleven and therefore there were a few small modifications this season. The teams that won each group continue to the finals as before, but now these were accompanied by the second place teams as well. Due to the foreseen increase, during this season barrage games promotion-relegation (Serie A-Serie B) were not played, were not required. Basel were allocated to the Central group together with the other three local clubs Concordia Basel, Nordstern Basel and Old Boys Basel. The other five teams allocated to this group were Young Boys Bern, FC Bern, Aarau, Grenchen and Solothurn.

FC Basel played a good league season, won ten matches, four were drawn and they suffered only two defeats. They scored 46 goals and conceded 20. With 24 points they ended the group in top position, two points ahead of runners-up Young Boys. These two teams continued to the final group. Here Basel played against Biel-Bienne and won, but lost the matches against Lugano, Grasshopper Club and finally Servette, who won the Swiss championship.[2]

In the preliminary, first and second round of the Swiss Cup Basel were drawn at home against FC Diana Zürich and FC Dietikon, then away against Lugano. But their second visit to the canton of Ticino ended in the away defeat against FC Locarno.[3]
