The 1980–81 season was FC Zürich's 84th season in their existence, since their foundation in 1896. It was their 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of Swiss football, following their promotion at the end of the 1957–58 season. They played their home games in the Letzigrund.
Overview
The club's president since December the previous season was Alfred Zweidler, who had taken over following Edwin Nägeli death. Nägeli had held this position for over 22 years, since 1957. The newly appointed head-coach was Daniel Jeandupeux. He took over from Albert Sing and Rosario Martinelli, who had acted as joint-coaches until the end of the previous season, this following the sacking of Zlatko Čajkovski. FCZ competed not only in the domestic first-tier 1979–80 Nationalliga A, but also competed in 1979–80 Swiss Cup and in the 1979–80 Swiss League Cup. The team had not qualified for any European competitions.
