Just over 100 days have passed since the 6-1 draw against Portugal in the World Cup round of 16. “Qatar is finished,” says goalkeeper Yann Sommer and focuses on the European Championship qualification. The most important questions and answers about the path of the Swiss national team to the 2024 tournament in Germany.
Who are Nati’s opponents in the European Championship qualification?
The Nati were drawn into Group I in October 2022 with Romania, Kosovo, Belarus, Israel and Andorra. All ten matches (home and away against each opponent) will take place in 2023. The national team will not play any test matches this year and the next edition of the Nations League will not start until 2024.
How does the Nati qualify for the EM 2024?
Conversely, the luck of the draw means anything other than first place would be a huge disappointment from a Swiss point of view. However, rank 2 is also sufficient for direct EM qualification. Should the national team finish third or worse, there is still a chance to qualify for the European Championship through a playoff tournament under certain circumstances.
Why is the Swiss national team currently not playing matches against Russia but not against Belarus?
Due to the offensive war against Ukraine, Russia has been banned from all international matches until further notice. Neighboring Belarus does not send its own troops to Ukraine, but serves as a transit point for Russian soldiers. Adrian Arnold, media spokesman for the Swiss Football Association, says: “There is a difference in international law: Russia invaded a sovereign country with troops and weapons. Belarus does not. That is why we – and also FIFA and UEFA – treat the two countries differently.”
Why does the opening match against Belarus take place in Serbia?
Due to the brotherhood with Russia, UEFA has moved all home games of Belarus in the European Championship qualifier to neutral territory and no spectators are allowed. Belarus chose the city of Novi Sad in Serbia as the venue against Switzerland. Where Belarus will play its other “home games” has not yet been determined.
