Switzerland at the UEFA European Championship

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

As of 2023, Switzerland have appeared at five UEFA European Championships, between 1996 and 2020 (held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), with an upcoming sixth appearance in June-July 2024. They have advanced past the first round twice, reaching the last 16 in 2016 and the quarter-finals in 2020 for the first time, before being eliminated by Spain on penalties following a 1–1 draw after extra time.
