Liga was the 74th season of this league and was, at this time, the third tier of the Swiss football league system. The 1. Liga was the highest level of amateur football, although an ever-increasing number of teams had professional or semi-professional players in their ranks, this also included the U-21 teams, the eldest youth teams of the professional clubs. Format There were 48 teams in this division this season, including eight U-21 teams which were the eldest youth teams of the professional clubs in the Super League and the Challenge League. The 1. Liga was divided into three regional groups, each with 16 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their positions in the league. The three groups winners and three runners-up, together with the two best third placed teams, then contested a play-off for the two promotion slots. The U-21 teams were not eligible for promotion and could not compete the play-offs. The two last placed teams in each group were relegated to the 2. Liga Interregional. Group 1 Last season's group winners Lausanne-Sport had achieved promotion to the second tier. Further, ES FC Malley and Stade Lausanne Ouchy had been relegated and were no longer represented in this division. New clubs in this season were Signal FC Bernex-Confignon and SC Düdingen who had both been promoted after winning their 2. Liga Interregional groups. FC Bulle joined the group after being relegated following the 2004–05 Challenge League season. Also new to the group was Servette. During February 2005, the parent company of the club was declared bankrupt and as a consequence their U-21 team took over the club name playing two divisions below the original Servette team.http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=sui/news/newsid=280480.html Final curtain for Servette UEFA 16 February 2005 25 May 2012 14 September 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160914050124/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=sui/news/newsid=280480.html dead Teams ClubCantonStadiumCapacityFC BexVaudRelaisFC BulleFribourgStade de BouleyresÉtoile Carouge FCGenevaStade de la FontenetteCS ChênoisGenevaStade des Trois-ChêneSC DüdingenFribourgStadion BirchhölzliFC EchallensVaudSportplatz 3 SapinsFC FribourgFribourgStade UniversitaireGrand-Lancy FCGenevaStade de MarignacFC Martigny-SportsValaisStade d'OctodureES FC MalleyVaudCentre Sportif de la TuilièreFC NatersValaisSportanlage StapfenFC Stade NyonnaisVaudStade de ColovrayFC SerrièresNeuchâtelPierre-à-BotServette FCGenevaStade de GenèveSignal FC Bernex-Confignon (red) 2023 https://matchcenter.acgf.ch/default.aspx?lng=2&cxxlnus=1&v=825& Signal FC Bernex-Confignon acgf.ch de 2023-11-16GenevaStade municipal de BernexUrania Genève SportGenevaStade de Frontenex Final league table main WDL QR SeG Servette FC 21 5 4 82 32 CAR Étoile Carouge FC 16 8 6 66 27 UGS Urania Genève Sport 16 7 7 55 39 MAL ES FC Malley 16 6 8 61 34 NYO FC Stade Nyonnais 14 6 10 57 51 ECH FC Echallens 11 11 8 47 43 CHE CS Chênois 11 8 11 50 54 BUL FC Bulle 11 7 12 46 50 FRI FC Fribourg 9 12 9 50 48 SER FC Serrières 9 11 10 33 33 MAR FC Martigny-Sports 10 7 13 40 50 BEX FC Bex 10 7 13 39 56 DÜD SC Düdingen 8 7 15 41 65 NAT FC Naters 7 7 16 42 60 SIG Signal FC Bernex-Confignon 3 12 15 37 62 LAN Grand-Lancy FC 4 7 19 30 72 green3 Play-off to Challenge League QP QP QP red1 Relegation to 2.
