In the season 1975-76 Federale participated in the FIBA European Champions Cup as Swiss champion αfter two qualifier against Turkish Beşiktaş and Czechoslovak Dukla Olomouc, reached the quarter finals where ranked sixth and last with a record of 0-5 wins in a group that included among others Real Madrid, Forst Cantù and Maccabi Tel Aviv.

In 1981 the club merged with AS Viganello Basket (later with the Molino Nuovo),[3] giving rise to the FV Lugano (today Lugano Tigers).
