The Swiss sports club BSC Old Boys Basel (OB) was founded in 1894 under the name FC Old Boys Basel .

Since the beginning of the 20th century the club has been called BSC Old Boys Basel. The BSC stands for Basler Sportclub . In addition to football, the club also has a successful athletics section.

In 1922 a swimming section was founded, which later merged with other Basel clubs to form the Swimming Club of both Basels . From 1927 tennis was also part of the club's offer. In 1935 this section split off to form the Old Boys tennis club , now Roger Federer's home club .

The Schützenmatte stadium in Basel is the home stadium of the Old Boys. Originally it was the Margarethenwiese. But the association had to look for a new home because of the construction of the IWB , the industrial works of Basel.

Four years after it was founded, the name of the Old Boys was adapted and adapted by a newly founded football club: Today, however, the BSC Young Boys is far better known and more successful than the Old Boys Basel.

History and name

In 1876 the gymnastics teacher at the then secondary school, Adolf Glaz, founded the secondary school gymnastics club. In 1893 he introduced his students to the new football game. As a result, during the summer and autumn vacation of 1893, some members of the club met regularly on the gymnasium by the viaduct to play football. (This gymnasium was roughly where the zoo parking lot is today.) On December 10, 1893, the first soccer match between the Realschüler gymnastics club and the newly founded FC Basel , the FC Basel, took place in the Landhof Won 2-0.

When the students finished school, they could no longer be members of the student association. That is why they founded their own football club in 1894. Since they founded the club because they had become too old for the school club, they called the new club the "Old Boys".

In 2006/07 the Old Boys played a league higher in the 2nd interregional league . On the penultimate game day, the 1st team secured direct promotion and thus rose to the 1st division for the 2007/08 season. In the 2011/2012 season, the goal of the season, promotion to the newly founded 1st division promotion , was clearly achieved.

In addition to the 1st league promotion team, the club includes junior, senior and veteran teams. The youth team currently plays in the 2nd division. OB also has a 4th division team. There are also women's and girls' teams.

The neighborhood club also offers a disabled team (Dream Team) a sporting home and training opportunities, which was awarded by UEFA in 2009.

The BSC Old Boys is committed to the youth work and excellent players have repeatedly come from it, so the later Bundesliga clubs and players of the Swiss national team Eren Derdiyok and Timm Klose went through all junior levels at Old Boys.
