The Swiss will be appearing in their ninth World Cup finals, but just their third since 1966, having been a mainstay of the early versions of the tournament. They debuted in 1934, reaching the quarterfinals, and followed that up with a repeat performance in the 1938 tournament.
They bowed out in the first round in Brazil in 1950, the next time the finals were held after World War II, and were again quarterfinalists in the competition they hosted in 1954, losing 7-5 to the Austrians in the knock-out stages. Things went downhill from there, and having missed out on 1958, they exited in the first round in both 1962 and 1966.
It would be another 28 years before they appeared again, in 1994, where they reached the second round before losing to Spain, while their last appearance came in 2006 when they lost to the Ukraine, also in the second round.
