On paper, Group B looks like one of the weaker groups in the World Cup, and Switzerland are the favourites to progress.

They have made it out of the group stages in each of the last three World Cups, and will fancy their chances of extending that streak against Bosnia, Canada, and Qatar.

🌍 How did Switzerland qualify for the 2026 World Cup?

Switzerland also had an underwhelming Nations League campaign, but they bounced back and looked much more convincing during their World Cup qualifying matches.

The Swiss won four and drew two of their matches, easily securing top spot. While they didn’t have the toughest group, placed alongside Kosovo, Slovenia, and Sweden, Switzerland pulled off some impressive results, including a 4-0 win over Kosovo in matchday one, while also taking six points from Sweden.

Switzerland did drop points in the final matchday against Kosovo with a 1-1 draw, but by then, top spot had already been locked in, so they weren’t quite on top form. Switzerland only conceded twice in their qualifying games, and they have a strong core squad available.

👔 Who is the Switzerland manager at the World Cup 2026?

This will be Murat Yakin’s second World Cup in charge of Switzerland, and he has a decent record in international competitions. His most impressive performance came at Euro 2024, where Switzerland made it to the quarter-finals before losing to England on penalties.

He can be quite flexible with his lineups and formations, usually adapting to the opposition. He likes his side to be aggressive in their press, which can sometimes make for some entertaining and open contests.

🔎 Who are Switzerland's key players to watch at World Cup 2026?

Breel Embolo

Breel Embolo has been a familiar face up front for Switzerland in recent years, and he looks set to lead the line once more this summer. He bagged four goals in six appearances during the World Cup qualifiers, and also scored twice at the 2022 World Cup.

Embolo now plays his football at Rennes, after transferring from Monaco over the summer, and he has scored eight times from 27 appearances across all competitions. However, he seems to play with a lot more confidence for his national team.

Dan Ndoye

Dan Ndoye hasn’t had the start to life in the Premier League as he would have hoped - his Nottingham Forest side are languishing down near the bottom of the standings, and Ndoye has only contributed two goals and one assist from his 34 appearances across all competitions.

However, Ndoye seems to enjoy his football more for Switzerland. In fact, he had two goals and three assists in five World Cup qualifying appearances alone, and even managed to find the back of the net in a friendly match against Germany in March.

Denis Zakaria

Switzerland are stacked with options in midfield, with the likes of Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler, but Denis Zakaria is another useful option who will provide Murat Yakin with tactical flexibility. The Monaco captain usually features in midfield, but has also dropped into the backline at times this campaign.

The 29-year-old might not be the first name you think of when Switzerland come up, but this will be his third appearance at the World Cup, and he will bring bags of vital experience in the competition.
