Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed Switzerland national football team’s official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup through his official X account.
The announcement was accompanied by a graphic listing the selected players by position as Switzerland finalised preparations for the tournament set to be hosted across United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The Swiss squad features a strong blend of experienced internationals and emerging talents, with key names including Granit Xhaka, Manuel Akanji, Noah Okafor, and Breel Embolo.
Romano shared:
OFFICIAL: Switzerland World Cup squad has been released.
Softfootball understands that Switzerland appear set to rely heavily on the stable core of players who impressed during recent European qualification campaigns, balancing defensive organization with attacking pace and experience.
One of the major talking points surrounding the squad is the absence of veteran attacker Xherdan Shaqiri, whose omission signals a continued transition toward a younger generation within the national team setup.
The announcement comes as countries across the world continue unveiling their final World Cup squads ahead of the expanded 48-team tournament.
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo was officially named in Portugal national football team’s final squad, marking his sixth FIFA World Cup appearance across a remarkable 20-year international career.
However, João Pedro reacted emotionally after being left out of Brazil national football team’s final squad announced by manager Carlo Ancelotti.
