The final selection for the Swiss national team for the European Championships has been announced. National coach Murat Yakin started with a pre-selection of 38 players, but was able to reduce the number to a maximum of 26 players. Former PSV Eindhoven players Ricardo Rodriguez and Yvonne Mvogo will come to Germany later this month.
The biggest eye-catcher in the collection is Granite (Chicago Fire).
Shaqiri is preparing for his seventh final tournament with Switzerland, as the 32-year-old playmaker was also present in the World Cup finals in 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022, and the European Championship in 2016 and 2021. In 2012, Switzerland failed to qualify for the final round of the European Championship.
Field players Uriel Aminda, Ulises Garcia, Joel Monteiro, Brian Okoh, Besir Omirajic, Kevin Mbabu, Filip Ogrenik, Albian Hajdari, Oran Beslemye and goalkeepers Pascal Lauritz and Marvin Keller were excluded from the preliminary selection. Andy Zeqiri was the latest to have a bad news conversation with Yakin.
Switzerland will train against Austria on Saturday, after which the European Championship will be followed by matches against Hungary, Scotland and host nation Germany.
