World Cup History
Team History: Switzerland FIFA World Cup record
Beginning with the 2026 World Cup, Switzerland will make 13 consecutive appearances in the World Cup. The farthest they’ve gotten was in the quarterfinals, which they reached in 1934, 1938, and 1954. In addition to this, they reached the knockout stage in Qatar during the 2022 World Cup, before getting eliminated in the round of 16. This gives them a clear mark to chase after, as they are a team with plenty of experience in the tournaments, but have not gotten to a semi-final match. For 2026, the goal will be getting past the first rounds of the tournament, as they look to continue their trend of qualifying.
