During the 2024–25 season, FC Zürich experienced a highly competitive campaign under manager Ricardo Moniz, ultimately finishing 7th in the Swiss Super League. Despite missing out on the championship group, they safely topped the bottom six after the late-season league split, amassing 53 points from 15 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses. Domestically, the club enjoyed a solid run to the quarter-finals of the Swiss Cup, while their European ambitions were cut short in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League. On an individual level, Colombian forward Juan José Perea—on loan from VfB Stuttgart—led the squad as the club's top league goalscorer with 7 goals.
