Edit November 15: Before the last two matches
Before the last two Group B matches
The Swiss national team has not yet qualified for the 2026 World Cup after a disappointing 0-0 draw in Slovenia in mid-October. The Nati now only have a three-point lead over Kosovo, and the prospect of a final match in Pristina on November 18th adds further spice to this FIFA group. The team managed by Murat Yakin finds itself in a precarious position just days before the decisive matches.
The crucial match against Sweden
Switzerland faces Sweden this Friday, November 15th, at the Stade de Genève (Rfj), a match that could secure direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Meanwhile, Slovenia hosts Kosovo (Rfj), a result that will have direct consequences for the Swiss national team's fate. A Swiss victory combined with a Kosovar slip-up would allow Yakin's men to clinch their ticket to their sixth consecutive World Cup.
Switzerland faces Sweden once again, the team that defeated them in the round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup in Saint Petersburg. The Scandinavians, with their world-class strikers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyökeres, pose a significant challenge to the Swiss defense. Slovenia demonstrated their defensive solidity by holding Switzerland to a 0-0 FIFA draw, a wake-up call for Yakin.
The denouement in Pristina
If qualification isn't secured on Friday, everything will come down to the final match on November 18 in Pristina RFJ. Kosovo, managed by Franco Foda, the short-lived coach of FC Zurich, could really upset the odds in this group. Switzerland will need at least a draw or to maintain their superior goal difference to guarantee qualification. The Nati haven't forgotten their failure to beat Kosovo in the preliminary round of Euro 2024 RTN, a worrying precedent before this potential Balkan playoff. Two crucial matches now await the Swiss side.
The importance of these qualifiers
Every match is decisive for Switzerland, which must finish among the top two teams in their group to secure direct qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The clashes against Sweden, Kosovo and Slovenia will be particularly decisive in accumulating points and securing Switzerland's place in the final tournament.
Places
Home matches will be played in two major Swiss cities:
- Basel, for the September meetings
- Geneva, for the match against Sweden in November
Away matches, particularly in Sweden and Kosovo, will pose significant challenges for the Swiss team, which will need to demonstrate solidity to achieve positive results on the opposing pitch.
2026 World Cup Goal
Switzerland aims to confirm its presence on the international scene and prepare for a historic World Cup, which will be held in Canada, the United States and Mexico with a expanded format to 48 teamsEvery playoff game will be a key step towards that goal.
