– Switzerland have qualified for their 12th FIFA World Cup, finishing top of their group ahead of UEFA European Championship holders Italy. It’s their fifth in a row, setting their longest run of consecutive appearances in the tournament.

– Switzerland are unbeaten in their opening game in each of their five appearances at the FIFA World Cup (W2 D3), since losing 5-0 against Germany in 1966.

– Switzerland are part of a group of only three European teams – Belgium and France are the others – to have reached the knockout stages in each of the last four major international tournaments (WC + Euro).

– Switzerland have topped their group only once previously at the FIFA World Cup, it was in 2006. That was the year they became the only team to date not to concede a single goal at a World Cup (4 games, 0 goal conceded).
