It was their 23rd 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 at this time was Alfred Zweidler, who had taken over this position following Edwin Nägeli death in December 1979.

As they were Swiss champions, the team had qualified for 1981–82 European Cup. The team also competed in 1981–82 Swiss Cup and in the 1981–82 Swiss League Cup. They also entered the 1981 Intertoto Cup. Players The following is the list of the FCZ first team squad this season.
