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 World Cup 20063 European Championship record4 Tournament Participation5 Match Kits6 Players6.1 Recent call ups7 Coaches8 Players9 Notes10 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] World Cup 2006Group StageFrance 0 - 0 Switzerland, 13th June in Stuttgart (5pm BST)Switzerland 2 - 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 Israel on 06 September 2008.Date announced23 August 2008No.Pos.PlayerDoB (Age)CapsGoalsClubGoalkeepers1GKDiego BenaglioSeptember 8, 1983 (1983-09-08) (age 24)150 VfL Wolfsburg21GKEldin JakupovićOctober 2, 1984 (1984-10-02) (age 23)10 Grasshopper-Club Zürich32GKFabio ColtortiDecember 3, 1980 (1980-12-03) (age 27)60 Racing SantanderDefense2DFJohan DjourouJanuary 18, 1987 (1987-01-18) (age 21)191 Arsenal3DFLudovic MagninApril 20, 1979 (1979-04-20) (age 29)553 VfB Stuttgart4DFPhilippe SenderosFebruary 14, 1985 (1985-02-14) (age 23)313 AC Milan5DFStephan LichtsteinerJanuary 16, 1984 (1984-01-16) (age 24)160 Lazio13DFStéphane GrichtingMay 30, 1979 (1979-05-30) (age 29)210 AJ Auxerre17DFChristoph SpycherMarch 30, 1978 (1978-03-30) (age 30)410 Eintracht Frankfurt24DFMario EggimannJanuary 24, 1981 (1981-01-24) (age 27)50 Hannover 9625DFSteve von BergenJune 10, 1983 (1983-06-10) (age 25)50 Hertha BSC Berlin26DFAlain NefFebruary 6, 1982 (1982-02-06) (age 26)11 UdineseMidfield6MFBenjamin HuggelJuly 7, 1977 (1977-07-07) (age 31)260 FC Basel8MFGökhan InlerJune 27, 1984 (1984-06-27) (age 24)221 Udinese10MFHakan YakınFebruary 22, 1977 (1977-02-22) (age 31)7120 Al-Gharafa15MFGelson FernandesSeptember 2, 1986 (1986-09-02) (age 22)120 Manchester City16MFTranquillo BarnettaMay 22, 1985 (1985-05-22) (age 23)366 Bayer 04 Leverkusen19MFValon BehramiApril 19, 1985 (1985-04-19) (age 23)212 West Ham United22MFJohan VonlanthenFebruary 1, 1986 (1986-02-01) (age 22)357 Red Bull Salzburg27MFSandro BurkiSeptember 16, 1985 (1985-09-16) (age 22)10 FC Aarau28MFValentin StockerApril 12, 1989 (1989-04-12) (age 19)11 FC Basel29MFAlmen AbdiOctober 21, 1986 (1986-10-21) (age 21)20 FC ZurichForward9FWAlexander FreiJuly 15, 1979 (1979-07-15) (age 29)6035 Borussia Dortmund12FWEren DerdiyokJune 12, 1988 (1988-06-12) (age 20)71 FC Basel30FWBlaise KufoMay 25, 1975 (1975-05-25) (age 33)173 FC Twente31FWMauro LustrinelliFebruary 26, 1976 (1976-02-26) (age 32)110 AC Bellinzona[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 2008Defenders20Patrick Müller17 December 1976 (age 31) AS Monaco81 (3)UEFA EURO 200823Philipp Degen15 February 1983 (age 25) Liverpool30 (0)UEFA EURO 2008Midfielders7Ricardo Cabanas17 January 1979 (age 29) Grasshopper-Club Zürich51 (4)UEFA EURO 200814Daniel Gygax28 August 1981 (age 27) 1.
