Switzerland also won silver at the 1924 Olympics. The 2002 U-17 European Championship was won by the Nati.In 2006, Switzerland set a FIFA World Cup record by being eliminated from the competition despite not conceding a goal, losing to Ukraine in a penalty shootout in the last 16, by failing to score a single penalty - becoming the first national team in Cup history to do this. [1]Switzerland co-hosted Euro 2008 with Austria, making their third appearance in the competition. As with the two previous appearances, they did not clear the group stages.Contents1 World Cup record2 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier3 Group 24 World Cup 20065 European Championship record6 Tournament Participation7 Match Kits8 Players8.1 Recent call ups9 Coaches10 Players11 Notes12 External links//[edit] World Cup recordYearRoundPositionGPWD*LGSGA 1930Did Not Enter------- 1934Quarter-finals7/16210155 1938Quarter-finals7/15311146 1950Round 16/13311146 1954Quarter-finals8/1642041111 1958Did not Qualify------- 1962Round 116/16300328 1966Round 116/16300319 1970Did not Qualify------- 1974Did not Qualify------- 1978Did not Qualify------- 1982Did not Qualify------- 1986Did not Qualify------- 1990Did not Qualify------- 1994Round 216/24411257 1998Did not Qualify-------  2002Did not Qualify------- 2006Round 210/32422040Total8/182685133751*Draws include knockout matches decided on penalty kicks.[edit] 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier[edit] Group 2Main article: 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification - UEFA Group 2TeamPldWDLGFGAGDPts Greece430192+79 Israel422085+38 Switzerland421176+17 Latvia411246−24 Luxembourg411237−44 Moldova401327−51 –1 Apr '0910 Oct '0914 Oct '093 – 01 – 228 Mar '09–5 Sep '099 Sep '0910 Oct '092 – 20 – 21 – 1–1 Apr '0914 Oct '099 Sep '090 – 31 – 328 Mar '09–0 – 010 Oct '099 Sep '091 – 21 – 25 Sep '09–28 Mar '095 Sep '0914 Oct '092 – 11 – 21 Apr '09–[edit] World Cup 2006Group StageFrance 0 - 0 Switzerland, 13th June in Stuttgart (5pm BST)Switzerland 16 - 0 Togo, 19th June in Dortmund (2pm BST)Switzerland 2 - 0 South Korea, 23rd June in Hannover (8pm BST)Second RoundSwitzerland 0 (aet) 0 Ukraine, 26th June in Cologne (8pm BST) (Ukraine won 3-0 in penalty shootout)Switzerland was the only team in tournament not to have conceded a goal during regulation time in their matches.[edit] European Championship recordYearRoundGPWD*LGSGA 1960Did not Qualify------ 1964Did not Qualify------ 1968Did not Qualify------ 1972Did not Qualify------ 1976Did not Qualify------ 1980Did not Qualify------ 1984Did not Qualify------ 1988Did not Qualify------ 1992Did not Qualify------ 1996Round 1301214 2000Did not Qualify------ 2004Round 1301216 2008Round 1310233  2012------Total3/139126513*Denotes draws include knockout matches decided on penalty kicks.**Gold background color indicates that the tournament was won. Red border color indicates tournament was held on home soil.[edit] Tournament ParticipationSo far the Swiss have earned no major trophy. The closest they have come was the quarter finals of the World Cup on three occasions (1934,1938,1954). They gained a silver medal in the 1924 Olympic games in Paris. The U-17-squad became 2002 European champions, with a 4:2 win after a penalty shootout against France (see U-17-EM 2002). Beyond that Switzerland qualified for the semi-final of the U-21-Euro 2002 and the U-21-Euro 2004 in each case.[edit] Match KitsThe Swiss Kit consists of two different outfits. The red shirt and white shorts are for home play, and the white shirt and red shorts are for away. The jersey is manufactured by Puma.[edit] PlayersSquad selected for the qualifier against Greece on 14 October 2008.Date announced12 October 2008No.Pos.PlayerDoB (Age)CapsGoalsClubGoalkeepers1GKDiego BenaglioSeptember 8, 1983 (1983-09-08) (age 25)160 VfL Wolfsburg12GKEldin JakupovićOctober 2, 1984 (1984-10-02) (age 24)10 Grasshopper-Club ZürichDefence2DFStephan LichtsteinerJanuary 16, 1984 (1984-01-16) (age 24)160 Lazio3DFLudovic MagninApril 20, 1979 (1979-04-20) (age 29)563 VfB Stuttgart4DFStéphane GrichtingMarch 30, 1979 (1979-03-30) (age 29)220 AJ Auxerre5DFJohan DjourouJanuary 18, 1987 (1987-01-18) (age 21)201 Arsenal13DFMario EggimannJanuary 24, 1981 (1981-01-24) (age 27)60 Hannover 9617DFChristoph SpycherMarch 30, 1978 (1978-03-30) (age 30)410 Eintracht FrankfurtMidfield6MFBenjamin HuggelJuly 7, 1977 (1977-07-07) (age 31)280 FC Basel7MFTranquillo BarnettaMay 22, 1985 (1985-05-22) (age 23)376 Bayer 04 Leverkusen8MFGökhan InlerJune 27, 1984 (1984-06-27) (age 24)231 Udinese11MFValon BehramiApril 19, 1985 (1985-04-19) (age 23)222 West Ham14MFAlberto RegazzoniApril 5, 1983 (1983-04-05) (age 25)30 BSC Young Boys15MFHakan YakınFebruary 22, 1977 (1977-02-22) (age 31)7220 Al-Gharafa16MFGelson FernandesSeptember 2, 1986 (1986-09-02) (age 22)120 Manchester City19MFValentin StockerApril 12, 1989 (1989-04-12) (age 19)21 FC BaselForward9FWAlexander FreiJuly 15, 1979 (1979-07-15) (age 29)6135 Borussia Dortmund10FWBlaise KufoMay 25, 1975 (1975-05-25) (age 33)184 FC Twente18FWEren DerdiyokJune 12, 1988 (1988-06-12) (age 20)71 FC Basel[edit] Recent call upsThe following players have been called up for the team in 2008.#NameDOBClubCaps (goals)Most Recent Call upGoalkeepers18Pascal Zuberbühler8 January 1971 (age 37) Fulham51 (0)UEFA EURO 2008Fabio Coltorti3 December 1980 (age 27) Racing Santander6 (0)v Germany, 26 March 2008Marco Wölfli22 August 1982 (age 26) BSC Young Boys0 (0)v Latvia, 11 October 2008DefendersSteve von Bergen10 June 1983 (age 25) Hertha BSC Berlin5 (0)v Cyprus, 20 August 20082Alain Nef6 February 1982 (age 26) Udinese2 (1)Luxembourg, 10 September 20084Philippe Senderos14 February 1985 (age 23) A.C.
