Grasshopper Club Zürich Frauen is a Swiss women's football team from Niederhasli, Zürich representing Grasshopper Club Zürich in the Swiss Women's Super League.[1]

## History

[edit]

The team was founded in 1977 in Schwerzenbach, Zürich, as DFC Schwerzenbach, the women's football division of SC Schwerzenbach. The team achieved promotion to the top level in 1988 and has played there since. Three years later Schwerzenbach won its first trophy, the 1992 national cup, and in 1999 it won the championship. FFC Bern prevented a double defeating Schwerzenbach in the cup's final in a penalty shootout.

While the team's standings subsequently ranged between the 3rd and second-to-last spots,[2] Schwerzenbach won two more national cups in 2003 and 2008 and represented Switzerland in the 2004 European Cup.[3] In 2006, the team decided to become its own club and on 6 October 2006, FFC United Schwerzenbach was founded in Greifensee, Zürich.

In May 2008, the club won its first title, with the cup victory over FFC Bern. Soon after, in June 2008, the collaboration between Grasshopper Club Zürich and FFC United Schwerzenbach was announced and in the following season the team played as GC/Schwerzenbach. This collaboration was seen as a quantum leap in women's football in Switzerland. GC/Schwerzenbach was dissolved a year later, as the team became fully integrated into Grasshopper Club as the women's football division. They would play under the name Grasshopper Club Zürich.

Following a bronze in its debut season, Grasshopper was the championship's runner-up in 2010. In the three next seasons it has ended in mid-table positions.[4]

On 4 September 2023, the club decided to incorporate their women's football team under the name GC Frauenfussball AG.[5]
