Overview
Grasshopper
Club was founded on September 1, 1886. The founder was an English student called Tom E. Griffith. A sum of 20 Swiss francs was collected from football fans in the locality in order to establish this club. The club used the donation to import an English football and blue and white uniforms.
Grasshopper Club is not devoted to football alone. It focuses on many aspects of sports. But, its oldest and most popular section is its football team. Fans call it GC, GCZ, or simply Grasshopper. Now, Grasshopper Club Zürich has to its name 27 titles. It holds the record of winning the largest number of championship titles.
There are no records to explain its unusual name. The earliest players of the club were known for their enthusiastic and energetic celebrations after scoring a goal. Their movements might have resembled those of a grasshopper, and the name stuck, although the original reasons for christening the club so are almost forgotten.
The Grasshoppers played their first match in the same year of the establishment of the club against ETH. It neither won nor lost. It had to wait till 1893 for its first honor, the opportunity to be the first Swiss team to play in
Germany
, and the club won gloriously in a match against
Strasbourg
.

Recent Times
On May 2005,
Grasshopper
Club Zürich became formally organized as Neue Grasshopper Fussball AG and became the first Swiss sport club to go public. Due to its great success in the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League matches, the club has become a prominent club in Swiss football. Its influence has spread beyond the realm of football. Currently, in addition to a quality football team, the club maintains professional and amateur teams in a variety of sports fields, such as rowing, ice hockey, handball, lawn tennis, court tennis, field hockey, curling, squash, and unihockey.
Initially, the Grasshoppers played their home matches at the Hardturm. Their new stadium was inaugurated on September 22, 2007. Now, the club plays all its home matches in the newly inaugurated Letzigrund stadium. While the stadium was under construction, the club used its training facilities, which were located in Niederhasli. The training facilities include five practice pitches, apartments for young players and offices.
