Switzerland arrive at their sixth consecutive World Cup โ one of Europe's most consistently qualified sides of the modern era. Under Murat Yakin, who has signed a contract extension through Euro 2028, the Nati are not here by accident or tradition. They are here because they keep qualifying, keep competing, and keep going deep in tournaments that bigger names exit early. This isn't a flashy team โ but it is organized, hard to beat, and used to deep tournament runs.
Granit Xhaka holds the Swiss record for appearances with over 140 caps and captains the side into his fourth World Cup. His move from Bayer Leverkusen โ where he won the Bundesliga title โ to Sunderland in the Premier League has not diminished his importance to this team one bit. Xhaka is the metronome. Everything Switzerland do in possession flows through him. The retirement of Xherdan Shaqiri after Euro 2024 removed the one player who could produce individual moments of brilliance from nothing โ his absence is the one real creative gap in this squad. Up front, Breel Embolo has overcome years of injury proneness to evolve into Switzerland's marksman, supported by Dan Ndoye of Nottingham Forest providing pace and directness from wide.
Switzerland have a habit of making headlines at World Cups nobody expects. In 2006 they became the first team ever eliminated from a World Cup without conceding a single goal โ going out on penalties to Ukraine after a goalless Round of 16. Then in 2010, they shocked eventual champions Spain 1-0 in one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. This is a team that quietly produces moments. Don't overlook them.
Group B โ Switzerland, Canada, Bosnia, Qatar โ is the easiest group at this tournament and Switzerland are the highest ranked side in it at 19th in the world. They should advance comfortably. Canada are the co-hosts and the real test โ that match decides who tops the group. Bosnia and Qatar are both beatable. Switzerland's real tournament begins after the group stage, and a kind draw into the Round of 32 could see them go very deep.
My prediction: Switzerland second behind Canada โ but if they beat Canada in the group, then it's the other way around. Either way, do not sleep on Switzerland in the knockouts.
