History

Founded on 19 April 1879, FC St. Gallen is the oldest club still in existence in Swiss football. However, the team has had relatively little success in comparison to other clubs. Despite the fact that St. Gallen won the Swiss championship twice in the 1903–04 and 1999–2000 seasons, the team has mostly been a mid-table side. St. Gallen were relegated to the second-tier Challenge League twice, at the end of the 2007–08 and the 2010–11 seasons. Since their promotion back to the Swiss Super League, they have remained in the top division for the past twelve years, establishing themselves again as a midtable club. In the 2019–20 season, the club finished as runners-up. Despite being based in a relatively small city, St. Gallen are known for their excellent support at both home and away games. In 2016, FC St. Gallen, became a member of the exclusive Club of Pioneers, as the oldest football club of Switzerland.
