1897–98 Swiss Serie A

The first Swiss football championship was held 1897–98. The championship was not organized by the Swiss Football Association (SFA; founded in 1895) and is therefore considered as unofficial. Only four of the clubs competing were members of the SFA; FC Château de Lancy, Grasshopper Club Zürich, Neuchâtel FC and La Villa Ouchy).^[1] The series A was divided into three regional groups, group A in the north, group B the district around Lausanne and group C district of Genève). The winner of each group qualified for the finals.

The regulations to the run of play in second and third divisions (series B and C) remain unknown. The following are the statistics to the first Swiss national football (soccer) competition (later Swiss Super League).
