Werner Stutz (born 31 March 1883) was a Swiss footballer who played as forward or midfielder.

Football career

Stutz joined FC Basel's first team during their 1899–1900 season. In this season the club did not compete in the Swiss Serie A, they played only friendly games. Stutz played only one friendly game on 15 April 1900 as Basel were defeated 4–5 by Zürich.[1] The following season he played with Basel's reserve team who at that time played in the Serie B, the second tier of Swiss football.[2] In their 1901–02 season, after playing in another test game, Stutz played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game on 20 October 1901 as Basel were defeated 0–2 by local rivals Old Boys.[3]

He stayed with the team until 1904 and during his time with them, Stutz played a total of 14 games for Basel without scoring a goal. Seven of these games were in the Swiss Serie A and seven were friendly games.[4] He probably played in more games than mentioned, but the documentation is incomplete.[note 01–02 1][note 03–04 1]
