Peter Epting was the club's chairman for the third period. FC Basel played their home games in the St. Jakob Stadium. Following their promotion in the previous season this was their first season back in the highest tier of Swiss football. Overview Pre-season Claude Andrey was the Basel trainer for the second consecutive season. After gaining promotion during the previous season, the club's priority aim was to remain in the top flight of Swiss football. Andrey tried to keep the team together after the team's promotion and only a relatively low number of players left the squad. Axel Kruse's loan period had ended and he returned to VfB Stuttgart and Sergei Derkach returned to Dynamo Moscow. Reto Baumgartner retired from active football and turned to professional beach soccer and played for the Swiss national team. Micha Rahmen and Mario Uccella moved on to local amateur club FC Riehen, and Olivier Bauer and Frank Wittmann moved on to local team Old Boys. In the other direction Lars Olsen signed in from Seraing, Asif Šarić signed in from Arminia Bielefeld, Mart van Duren came from Groningen and Alexandre Rey transferred in from Sion. A few youngsters also joined the team, Dominic Moser came from FC Birsfelden and Yassine Douimi, Markus Lichtsteiner and Roger Schreiber came via the reserve team from the youth section.

Because Goalkeeper Stefan Huber was injured, Andreas Niederer was signed in as third goalie from local amateur club FC Allschwil and he came to four appearances after second keeper Thomas Grüter also injured himself. Hakan Yakin signed his first professional contract in January 1995 coming in from local club Concordia Basel. He played his League debut for Basel on 12 April 1995 in the match against Lausanne Sports. He was brought on in the 60th minute as replacement for Alexandre Rey. With his first touch of the ball, just 18 seconds later, Yakin scored the goal with a header to make it 3–0, the final score being 5–0. 2011 https://www.fcsg-data.ch/players?letter=Y FCSG Data Hakan Yakin fcsg-data.ch 2020-11-16 de Domestic league At this time, the Swiss Football Association were reforming the Swiss football league system. There was no amendment to the top-tier (NLA), but the number of second-tier (NLB) clubs was being reduced from 24 teams in two regional groups to just 12 teams in one division and this was being done in three steps over three seasons. The previous season had seen the first step, with the reduction of the two regional divisions from 12 to 10 teams. This season saw the second step, the NLB had two groups of 8 and next season there would be one division with 12 teams. As aleady noted, FCB had achieved promotion im the previous season. The 1994–95 Nationalliga A was contested by 12 teams and for Basel the season started very badly, the team lost four of the first six games and they did not record a win until the 9th round. After the first half of the Qualifying Phase, Basel and Young Boys were joint bottom of the league table with just six points. During their eleven games Basel had suffered six defeats and four draws. To this point they had scored just six goals, four of which were in the home win against Luzern, but had conceded only nine. The second half of the Qualifying Phase was better and Basel rose to 7th position in the league table. During the entire phase Basel scored just 18 goals, thus being the poorest attacking team and conceded just 15, thus being the defensive best in the league. Basel were qualified for the Champions Round. Here things started better, three wins in the first three games. But two back to back dubbings in Lugano (1–4) as guests to Xamax (1–5), as well as the return game home defeat against Lugano, put an end to the hopes of a higher placed finish. Basel ended the 1994–95 Nationalliga A in seventh position in the table, but were qualified for the newly UEFA-administered Intertoto Cup 1995. Dario Zuffi was the team's top goal scorer with nine goals and Alexandre Rey second with five.
