The following is a summary of the 1967–68 season of competitive football in Switzerland.
See main article: 1967–68 Nationalliga A.
Three teams finished level on points, therefore a play-off was required. The game GC-Zürich was played on 12 June in Bern, Lugano-GC 19 June in Lausanne and Zürich-Lugano in Zürich with the acceptation of Lugano. Before this final match it was already clear that FCZ were Swiss champions, as a win for Lugano would have left all three play-off finalists equal on the same number of points. In this case the goal difference from the regular championship was decisive. The match was therefore moved from Lausanne to Zurich. After the match, the trophy was presented by Federal Councillor Nello Celio under difficult conditions following a pitch invasion by fans.[1]
