Overview

Friedel Rausch was appointed as trainer, following Karl Odermatt and Bruno Rahmen who had taken over ad interim after Ernst August Künnecke had been sacked toward the end of the previous season. After missing promotion during the last four seasons, the club's repeated priority aim was to return to the top flight of Swiss football. Basel were assigned to the Nationalliga B West group and also assigned to this group were local rivals Old Boys. Basel ended the Qualifying Phase in second position in the league table. In the 22 matches Basel totaled 36 points with 16 victories, four draws and two defeats. The team scored 54 goals and conceded only 10.

Basel thus qualified for the promotion stage and were assigned to group A. Further teams assigned to this group from the Nationalliga B were Delémont, Chênois, Luzern, Locarno and Wil. Assigned to this group and fighting against relegation from the Nationalliga A were Bulle and Grasshopper Club. Basel ended the promotion stage in a very disappointing fourth position in the league table. The 14 matches resulted in seven victories, four draws and three defeats with 18 points, scoring 25, conceding 17 goals. Therefore, Basel missed promotion again.

In the Swiss Cup Basel started in the second round. They were drawn away from home against lower-tier local team FC Baudepartement Basel. In the round of 64 they were drawn at home to local rivals Old Boys. Basel were drawn away against lower-tier SC Young Fellows Juventus in the round of 32 and in the next round they were drawn at home against lower-tier FC Savièse. All four games were won without the team conceding a single goal. However, in the quarterfinals Basel played at home against higher-tier Xamax. Because this match ended with a 2–3 defeat they were eliminated from the competition.
