The St. Jakob Park Stadium is the home of the famous and unfortunately almost unbeatable
Basel Soccer Club (FCB). The FCB which is called "Eff Tsay Bay" (in Swiss German) was most successful in the 1960s and 1970s. They were Swiss champion seven times and won the national Cup three times. In the 1980s they had to play in the Nationalliga B (the second highest League in Switzerland). In 1994 they went back into the highest League. When the stadium "St. Jakob-Park" was opened in 2001 the success came back. In 2002 the FCB won the Double (Swiss Championship and Swiss Cup). In the following season they were the second Swiss team which could ever play in the Champions League. Among others, they also defeated Celtic, Liverpool,Deportivo La Coruña and Juventus. T
he FCB hasn't lost in the St. Jakob-Park since 1. December 2002 against Grasshopper (1:2). The FCZ (Soccer Club Zurich) broke the serie of FCB 3:4 in a Game of the "Swisscom Cup". Congratulations. (Source: Wikipedia)
