Switzerland
Switzerland succeeded in the UEFA qualifying group against the teams from Greece, Latvia, Israel, Luxembourg and Moldova as group winner and therefore qualified for the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Throughout the qualification period the 'Nati' had to accept only one defeat. On 2nd matchday the side of coach Ottmar Hitzfeld lost 1-2 against underdog Luxembourg.
The FIFA World Cup 2010 is the ninth WC tournament with the participation of the Swiss national team. The first time the Confederates played a part in World Cup1934, where they reached the quarterfinal. Twice, Switzerland could repeat this placement: 1938 (France) and 1954 at the home World Cup. At the last FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany under coach Jakob "Köbi" Kuhn's guidance, the Swiss reached at least the last sixteen, where they failed in the penalty shootout against the Ukraine.
