FC Chiasso is a Swiss football club based in the Italian-speaking municipality of Chiasso. It was founded in 1905. Chiasso also played in the Italian first league between 1914 and 1923. They currently play in 2. Liga, the sixth tier of Swiss football.

History

Between 1927 and 1993, the club played a total of 28 seasons in the Swiss top flight. The team came second in the 1950–51 season and third the following season. It also reached the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup three times.

The public limited company FC Chiasso 2005 SA was declared bankrupt in January 2023. ^[1] The youth department was not affected by this as they were organised under the umbrella of the club FC Chiasso. But the first team which had been in the race for promotion to Challenge League was excluded from Promotion League mid-season and their record expunged.

After appointing a new committee and manager, the club restarted its first team to play in the 4. Liga, the eighth tier of Swiss football for the 2023–24 season. ^{[2] [3] [4]} The club managed to obtain successive promotions (4. Liga 2023-24, 3. Liga 2024-25) and now play within the 2. Liga.
