He played his domestic league debut for his new club in the home game in the St. Jakob Stadium on 4 September 1996 as Basel were defeated 2–4 by Lausanne-Sport.[1] Falub did not adapt successfully to the Swiss lifestyle and after only one year, he returned to his beloved team U Cluj. During his short time with the club Falub played a total of 35 games for Basel scoring one goal. 24 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, three in the Swiss Cup and the other eight were friendly games. He scored his only goal during the test games.[2]
