Switzerland head to World Cup 2026 in one of the more favourable groups with Qatar and Bosnia & Herzegovina making only their second appearances at the tournament while co-hosts Canada have their sights set on progressing through the group stage.
Indeed, the Swiss are the only team of the four who have ever reached the knockout rounds of a World Cup with their best finish coming in the quarter-finals of the 1934, 1938 and 1954 editions. Under manager Murat Yakin, Switzerland have a fine team and will be confident of easing into the tournament against the relative minnows of their group before further challenges await in the knockout rounds.
