History

FC Wettingen spent the first few decades of their life bobbing around the lower echelons of the Swiss leagues until finally in 1969 they made it to the National League B. The next season they gained promotion and in the 1969/70 season they played in the Swiss Super League. However, due to their poor return of 15 points from 26 games they were relegated, finishing in 13th place out of 14.

The club spent the next years in the lower leagues of Swiss football until they made a return to top level football for the 1982–83 season where they remained until their relegation in the 1986–87 season. They made a swift return to the top flight gaining promotion in the 1987–88 season. The 1988/89 season was the most successful for the club and they finished in 4th place thus qualifying for the UEFA Cup (see below). In 1991/92 the club was relegated from the Swiss Super League for the third time. After the 1992/93 season the club folded due to financial reasons and began with the new name FC Wettingen 93 in the 5th League.
