History

The following year the club competed in a senior league match for the first time, spending the 1959/60 season in the Swiss 4. Liga.

Liga but losing the promotion playoffs to FC Gams.

Liga title and their first time in the playoffs for promotion to the 2. Liga, however they failed to get promoted. In the 1988–89 season, the club had a women's team for the first time.
