Luca Zuffi (born 27 March 1990 in Winterthur) is a Swiss footballer who plays as Midfielder for FC Basel in the Swiss Super League.[1]

Luca Zuffi is the son of Dario Zuffi . Luca played his youth football with FC Winterthur. During the 2006–07 Challenge League season he played his debut in their first team. In the following season became a regular player, scoring four goals in 18 appearances.

At the beginning of the 2012–13 Super League season Winterthur loaned Zuffi out to Thun. Because he played in 26 of their 36 league games and because they qualified to play in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League Thun took the option and transferred Zuffi definitively to the club. Thun advanced to the group stage in which Zuffi played in all six games.

Before the start of the 2014–15 Super League season Basel announced that they had completed Zuffi's transfer to the club on a three-year contract. He made his first team league debut on 19 July 2014 in the 2–1 away win against Aarau.[2] He scored his first goal for his new club on 9 August 2014 during the 4–1 home win against Zürich.[3]
