The FC Basel 1913–14 season was their twenty-first season since the club's foundation on 15 November 1893. The club's chairman was Karl Ibach until 25 September 1913. From that date Carl Albert Hintermann took over until the AGM. FC Basel played their home games in the Landhof in the district Basel-Wettstein in Kleinbasel, Basel.
Overview
In the 1913–14 season Basel played 32 matches. 14 of these were in the domestic league and 18 were friendly matches. Of these friendlies 10 were won and 8 ended with a defeat. Six of these games were played in the Landhof, one other home game on the Margarethenwiese in Basel, five others were away games in Switzerland and five games were played abroad. In these 18 games Basel scored a total of 57 goals and conceded 47.
The Swiss Serie A 1913–14 was divided into three regional groups, East, Central and West. 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 well into the championship winning seven of the first eight games, the first four games straight off. After the new year break things turned against them and they were defeated three times. Basel lost contact to the Young Boys at the top of the table and ended the season in joint second position with FC Bern, they were three points behind the group winners. In there 14 games Basel scored 63 goals and conceded 33. The Young Boys continued to the finals against Cantonal Neuchatel and Aarau, who eventually won the championship in the Finals.
The Anglo-Cup was not played in this year and in fact was discontinued.[1] So Basel could not defend the title that they had obtained the year before.
