In 2005, FC Zürich made history by winning the Super League championship. This title was not only a triumph on the pitch but also a symbol of the club's resurgence after years of challenges. Following a dry spell of over 25 years without a championship, the 2005 title was a much-needed success that reignited the passion and pride of the Zürifäger.
Under the guidance of coach Lucien Favre, who was in his second season at FCZ, a team was formed that made remarkable strides both in terms of play and grit. Players like the legendary striker Marco Schönbächler and talented midfielder Goran Karanovic played crucial roles in this success. Their skills and commitment on the pitch made the fans in the city of FC Zürich come alive, turning matches at the stadium into true celebrations.
The 2004/2005 season started off rocky, but as the season drew to a close, it became evident that FC Zürich was a serious title contender. In a thrilling finale, FCZ ultimately secured the championship, and the players were celebrated by ecstatic fans. This championship was more than just a title; it marked the beginning of a new era that propelled FC Zürich onto the European football stage in the years to come.
However, the return to the top of Swiss football was not merely about success on the pitch.

The fans, who had often remained loyal during difficult times, became an indispensable part of FCZ's success. Matches at the stadium transformed into a place of unity where people came together in their love for the club.
In the years following 2005, FCZ continued to assert itself in the Super League and began to make its mark in international competitions as well. However, the championship of 2005 remains an essential part of the club's history, a monument to the fighting spirit and determination that have made FC Zürich what it is today.
