Overview

The Austrian trainer Karl Kurz remained trainer for his second season and fellow Austrian Josef Haist was is co-trainer. Kurz was ill with leukaemia and his condition worsened. He died because of his illness during the evening of 26 November 1933, shortly after the team won the away game against Blue Stars Zürich. He was 35 years old. Josef Haist then took over the job as head coach.[1]

Basel played a total of 46 matches in their 1933–34 season. 30 of these matches were in the domestic league Nationalliga, four in the Swiss Cup and 12 were friendly matches. Of these 12 friendlies seven were played in the Landhof, three other games were also played in Switzerland and three were played in France. Of the freindly games, seven ended with a victory and four ended with a defeat.[2]

The 1933–34 Nationalliga was reformed. The top division was no longer in two groups, but all teams were in one group and the championship was contested by 16 teams. The champioship was played with a double round robin. Basel started the season well, winning six of the first nine games, suffering only one defeat. Following the death of trainer Kurz the team was disorientated, losing six of the next eight matches and thus contact with the two top teams. Then in March Basel caught their form and improved again to finish their Nationalliga season in fifth position in the table, with 15 victories from the 30 games and 36 points. Servette won the championship.[3]

In the 1st principal round of the Swiss Cup Basel were drawn at home against and defeated lower tier Solothurn. In the second and third round, away against Lausanne-Sport and at home against local rivals Nordstern Basel, Basel won both games by three goals to one. Then in the quarter-final on 4 February 1934 Basel were defeated by Locarno and that fits, timely, completely into the entire picture of the seasons evolution.[4]
