Davide Callà (born 10 February 1984) is a Swiss footballer of Italian descent, who currently plays as midfielder for FC Basel.[1]

On 11 February 2014 FC Basel announced that they had signed Callà in a swop deal with FC Aarau. Stephan Andrist signed for Aarau with a contract dated up until June 2015 and at the same time Callà signed for Basel on a ​2 1⁄2-year deal.[2][3] He made his debut for Basel in the St. Jakob-Park on 15 February 2014 in the 1–0 home win against Sion.[4]

At the end of the 2013–14 Super League season he won the league championship with Basel.[5] They also reached the final of the 2013–14 Swiss Cup, but were beaten 2–0 by Zürich after extra time. Basel had qualified for Europa League knockout phase and here they advanced as far as the quarter-finals.

The season 2014–15 was a very successful one for Callà and for FC Basel. The championship was won for the sixth time in a row that season[6] and in the 2014–15 Swiss Cup they reached the final. But for the third season in a row, Basel ended the competition as runners-up, losing 0–3 to FC Sion in the final. Basel entered the Champions League in the group stage and reached the knockout phase as on 9 December 2014 they managed a 1–1 draw at Anfield against Liverpool.[7] But then Basel then lost to Porto in the Round of 16. Basel played a total of 65 matches (36 Swiss League fixtures, 6 Swiss Cup, 8 Champions League and 15 test matches). Under new manager Paulo Sousa Callà totaled 49 appearances, 23 (seven goals) in the League, 6 in the Cup and 5 in the Champions League, as well 15 in test games (one goal.[8]
