Despite having an unassailable 16 point lead at the top of the table, Swiss club FC Basel have said that they will not be celebrating the title until they are extremely sure that Luzern will not be able to win the title.
FC Luzern are currently engaged in a battle with the Swiss football Federation surrounding the Sion club.
It is a long-running saga that almost resulted in an international ban for the Swiss national football team. FC Basel had a 3-0 win over Sion during the weekend. This effectively sealed the title because only five matches remain in the season for the second placed a club Luzern, who currently trail FC Basel by 16 points.
