Grasshopper

Grasshopper Club Zürich plays at the Letzigrund stadium in Zürich, sharing the ground with city rivals FC Zürich. With a capacity of 26,104 spectators, the stadium provides both Zürich clubs with a shared home for their Super League matches. Grasshopper Club, founded in 1886, is Switzerland's most decorated club in terms of Super League championships, having won the Swiss title an extraordinary 27 times — more than any other club in Swiss football history. The club's green and white colours have been a constant presence at the pinnacle of Swiss football across more than a century of competition.

Grasshopper Club has also been one of Switzerland's most ambitious European competitors, reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1978 and participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage in 1997–98, competing against Manchester United, Juventus, and Feyenoord. The club's historical record in Swiss football is unmatched, and players who developed through or played for Grasshopper include many Swiss internationals who went on to successful careers in European football. The club went through a challenging period following relegation to the Swiss Challenge League (second division) in 2019 before rebuilding and returning to the Super League.

Grasshopper's shared use of Letzigrund with FC Zürich creates an interesting local dynamic, with city derbies generating significant interest given the respective clubs' historical standings. The Zürich derby — between the two most decorated clubs in Swiss football history, both playing from the same stadium — is one of Switzerland's most anticipated football fixtures. As Grasshopper works to re-establish themselves among Switzerland's consistent Super League forces, the Letzigrund provides a quality venue from which the club can pursue both domestic and potential European ambitions while drawing on the extraordinary weight of 27 championship titles in their history.
