Hans Riggenbach (date of birth unknown) was a Swiss footballer who played as defender in the early 1900s.
Riggenbach joined FC Basel's first team for their 1901–02 season. After playing in two friendly games Riggenbach 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.[1] Riggenbach was a regular starter for the team. At the end of the league group stage, Basel were in second position, one point behind Young Boys who qualified for the finals.[2]
Riggenbach stayed with the team for one more season and again in their 1902–03 season he was a regular starter, in fact he played in all seven league matches. However, in this season things didn't go their way and Basel ended the group stage in third position.[3]
In his two seasons with the team Riggenbach played a total of 26 games for Basel without scoring a goal. 14 of these games were in the Nationalliga A and 12 were friendly games.[4]
