Two good tests to start

Eliminated in the round of 16 in Qatar by Portugal, the Nati will return to the qualifying for the European championships, which will take place next year in Germany. The program starts with a match against Belarus in Serbia on Saturday March 25 (6 p.m.) before they host Israel three days later at the Stade Geneva (8:45 p.m.).

Getting off to a good start

These two important matches can allow the Swiss to take the lead in a manageable group, also made up of Andorra, Kosovo and Romania. Especially since Switzerland had an honorable run at the last Euro in 2021, with a quarterfinal lost only on penalties against Spain (1-1, 3-1). This was after, they eliminated France in the Round of 16. Good luck Breel! 🇨🇭
