CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > Swiss Super League

The Swiss Super League is the top tier in the Swiss football league system. Whilst still being very much on the periphery of European football, it has featured some top players over the years, including a young Ivan Zamorano and Swiss legend Stephane Chapuisat. Grasshoppers are the most successful team in the leagues history, but recently the likes of Basel and Zurich have emerged as the main title contenders.

League Structure:

- Champions qualify for Champions League - must go through qualifying rounds
- The Swiss Cup winners and the teams finishing 2nd-3rd qualify for the UEFA Cup
- 9th placed team compete in a relegation/promotion play off against the 2nd placed team from the Swiss Challenge League
- Bottom team are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
