Facts
- Switzerland have qualified for seven FIFA World Cup™ finals. In
their début appearance in 1934, they lost a close quarter-final 3-2
to Czechoslovakia. Four years later, the Swiss booked their place in
the quarter-final by defeating Germany 4-2. The eventual runners-up
Hungary ended the Swiss run at the quarter-final stage.
- At Brazil '50 the Swiss team went out in the first round, but in
the 1954 World Cup they played their way into the quarter-finals as
the tournament hosts. But after leading 3-0, they allowed Austria to
fight back to claim a 7-5 victory and semi-final spot.
- In 1962 and 1966 Switzerland failed to progress beyond the first
round, and in 1994 they headed home after a 3-0 loss to Spain in the
second round.
