Overview
In the 1912–13 season Basel played 37 matches, 19 friendly games, 14 in the domestic league and 5 in the Anglo Cup. Of the friendly games 10 were won, three were drawn and six ended with a defeat. Just three of these games were played in the Landhof, six others were away games in Switzerland and ten games were played abroad.
The Swiss Serie A 1912–13 was divided into three regional groups, an East, a Central and a West group. Basel were allocated to the Central group together with local rivals Old Boys and Nordstern Basel. The other teams playing in the Central group were Young Boys, FC La Chaux-de-Fonds, Étoile-Sporting FC La Chaux-de-Fonds, FC Bern and Biel-Bienne. Basel started badly with three defeats and a draw in four games. Despite seven wins in the next ten games they could not reduce the gap to the top of the league table. Basel ended the season in fourth position. They were four points behind Old Boys, who continued to the finals. Lausanne Sports won the championship.
In the Anglo-Cup first round Basel were drawn at home against lower classed Solothurn. In the second round, in the Quarterfinal and in the Semifinal against East group teams, these being St. Gallen, Zürich and Winterthur. All these games were played at home in the Landhof. In the final, played in the Hardau Stadium in Zürich, Basel played against lower classed Weissenbühl Bern and won 5–0, thus they won the 1913 Anglo-Cup.[1]
