[edit] Football career

Maissen started his career at local club FC Basel in 1975. He spent seven years there, and was part of the title winning sides of 1977 and 1980, before joining rivals FC Zürich in 1982. He had an unsuccessful time at Zürich, though, and returned to Basel a season later. When Basel were relagated to the Nationalliga B in 1987 he left to join BSC Young Boys. After two seasons at Young Boys he returned to Basel where he finished his career in 1991.

He made his international debut in Switzerland's 2-0 win over Czechoslovakia in Basel on the 26th March 1980. After 29 caps his last game for Switzerland was in a 1-0 defeat to West Germany in Kaiserslautern on the 27th April 1988.
