FCB is scheduled to face St. Gallen in the Swiss Cup, a matchup that has occurred only seven times previously in the competition, with FCB having failed against St. Gallen just once. On February 1, 2026, FCB forward Philip Otele transferred to Hamburger SV on a loan deal that includes an option for a permanent move. Otele had initially arrived at FCB on loan from Al Wahda SCC in January 2025, where he made a significant impact by scoring nine goals and providing four assists in 21 games during the first half of the season, prompting FCB to activate its purchase option for the Nigerian player. Also on February 1, Giacomo Koloto signed a professional contract after joining the club's youth department from FC Zürich in winter 2024. Koloto has since played nine matches for the red-blue U21 team in the Hoval Promotion, scoring four goals. Additionally, the club highlighted that 22-year-old Ghanaian Adjetey, who joined FC Basel from FC Berekum Chelsea in his home country in summer 2022, made his first official team appearance in a cup game in Saint-Blaise a year after his arrival.
