Switzerland
Team Profile
- Switzerland are making a sixth consecutive FIFA World Cup™ participation, which represents their longest run of successive appearances. Overall, they have graced the global showpiece on 12 previous occasions.
- They advanced through qualifying unbeaten, registering four wins and two draws from six matches, with 14 goals scored and only two conceded.
- Three-time quarter-finalists, the Swiss made it through to the last eight in 1934, 1938 and on their own patch in 1954. They have negotiated their way out of their group in five of their last six tournament campaigns but have tasted defeat in the round of 16 on each of those occasions.
- The Nati suffered shoot-out agony against Ukraine in their last-16 showdown at the 2006 edition of the tournament after the sides had failed to trouble the scoreboard after 120 minutes of action, with the Swiss becoming the first team to exit a FIFA World Cup without conceding a goal – a record that still stands to this day.
- The 1954 FIFA World Cup™ quarter-final showdown between host nation Switzerland and Austria was a 12-goal thriller that remains the highest-scoring match in the tournament’s history. Despite racing into a 3-0 lead, the hosts were ultimately on the receiving end of a 7-5 defeat in a contest for the ages.
