Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As of 2024, Switzerland have appeared at six UEFA European Championships, between 1996 and 2024. They have advanced past the first round three times, 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. They again made it to the quarter-finals in 2024 after defeating defending champions Italy 2–0, but were once again eliminated in the quarter-finals on penalties, this time by England.
