Super League
The Swiss Super League, currently known as the Axpo Super League due to sponsorship is the top tier in the Swiss Football League. The league is currently ranked 15th in Europe according to UEFA. This current ranking is based upon Swiss team performances in the Champions League and Europa League.
The league is made up of ten teams with the top two teams reaching the Qualifying stages of the Champions League and the sides finishing third and fourth gain entry into the Qualifying stages of the Europa League. Teams are relegated to the Challenge league if they finish bottom. Ninth placed sides face a relegation play-off with the team that finished second in the Challenge League.
Last seasons champions were FC Zurich, who reached the group stages of the Champions League. The Swiss Champions performed quite well in the Group stage, including a victory over AC Milan at the San Siro. Otherwise, poor performances on the European stage has given the Swiss Super League the poor ranking it has.
FC Zurich and FC Basel each have three league titles from the past six seasons. Grasshoppers were the last side to wrestle the title away from their grasp in the 2002/03 season. This season it looks like Young Boys Bern will be challenging the superiority of Zurich and Basel as they currently sit atop the Super League table and are many bookies favourites to clinch the championship.
In the whole history of the league the most successful side are Grasshoppers with 27 league titles since 1933. Servette, currently playing in the Challenge League have been Swiss champions on no less than 13 occasions. The current champions FC Zurich sit on 12 titles alongside FC Basel.
