Switzerland: 2026 World Cup squad confirmed
Switzerland have confirmed their 26-player squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Switzerland are the definition of tournament consistency they have reached the knockout rounds at every major tournament since 2014.
Murat Yakin's side combine defensive solidity with intelligent attacking play, built around a core of players who have been together for years. Swiss football reflects the country itself: efficient, multilingual, and quietly effective. Granit Xhaka's move to Sunderland surprised many, but his leadership remains the squad's fulcrum. Manuel Akanji's partnership with Nico Elvedi provides one of the most reliable centre-back pairings in the tournament.
Head coach Murat Yakin has named his final selection for the tournament in North America.
Gregor Kobel in goal is world-class, Dan Ndoye has emerged as an explosive attacking option, and the versatility of the squad gives Yakin tactical flexibility. Switzerland rarely produce headlines, but they consistently produce results.
