===[[1966 FIFA World Cup]]===
Despite securing back-to-back qualification for the [[FIFA World Cup]]s, Switzerland's performance in the [[1966 FIFA World Cup|1966 edition]] was far more abysmal. They lost all of their matches once more, including a 5-0 walloping by eventual runners-up [[West Germany]] in their opening game. To date, this remains as Switzerland's worst performance.

This was also Switzerland's last [[FIFA World Cup]] campaign in 28 years, as their next appearance at the tournament would come in the [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994 edition]].

===2014 FIFA World Cup===
At the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]], Switzerland will play in Group E along with [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]], [[France national football team|France]], and [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]].
At the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]], Switzerland were drawn in Group E along with [[Ecuador national football team|Ecuador]], [[France national football team|France]], and [[Honduras national football team|Honduras]]. They opened their campaign with a 2–1 victory over Ecuador in [[Brasília]]. However, in their next match, they suffered a 5–2 defeat to France. Despite the initial setback, a 3–0 victory in their final game against [[Honduras]], courtesy of a hat-trick by [[Xherdan Shaqiri]] sent them into the round of 16, where they faced the two-time world champions and eventual runners-up Argentina.

The game was goalless and nearly heading to penalties when [[Ángel Di María]] scored a 118th-minute extra time goal to send Argentina into the quarter-finals. Despite being eliminated in the round of 16, it was Switzerland's best performance in eight years.

Switzerland vs Costa Rica match in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.

Switzerland have appeared in the finals of the World Cup on twelve occasions. They have reached the quarter-finals three times, in 1934, 1938 and 1954.

1966 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

Despite securing back-to-back qualification for the FIFA World Cups, Switzerland's performance in the 1966 edition was far more abysmal. They lost all of their matches once more, including a 5-0 walloping by eventual runners-up West Germany in their opening game. To date, this remains as Switzerland's worst performance.

This was also Switzerland's last FIFA World Cup campaign in 28 years, as their next appearance at the tournament would come in the 1994 edition.

2006 FIFA World Cup

[edit]
The Swiss line-up against China, just before World Cup 2006

The World Cup 2006 in Germany was the first World Cup for Switzerland since their participation at the World Cup 1994. After finishing second behind France in qualifying group 4, they defeated Turkey in the play-off round 2–0 and 4–2 to qualify for the main tournament.

In the group stage, they played again against France. The game played in Stuttgart ended in a goalless draw. After defeating Togo 2–0 in Dortmund and South Korea also 2–0 in Hannover, they finished first in group G and qualified for the knockout stage. In the second round of the tournament, they faced Ukraine in Cologne. The game had to be decided in a penalty shootout since no goal was scored after 120 minutes. Ukraine won the shootout 3–0. Switzerland was the only team in tournament not to have conceded a goal during regulation time in their matches. Switzerland's top scorer at the tournament was Alexander Frei with two goals. When Switzerland lost 3–0 on penalties, that was the first time that a team lost on penalties without scoring a single goal in the penalties.

2014 FIFA World Cup

[edit]

At the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Switzerland were drawn in Group E along with Ecuador, France, and Honduras. They opened their campaign with a 2–1 victory over Ecuador in Brasília. However, in their next match, they suffered a 5–2 defeat to France. Despite the initial setback, a 3–0 victory in their final game against Honduras, courtesy of a hat-trick by Xherdan Shaqiri sent them into the round of 16, where they faced the two-time world champions and eventual runners-up Argentina.

The game was goalless and nearly heading to penalties when Ángel Di María scored a 118th-minute extra time goal to send Argentina into the quarter-finals. Despite being eliminated in the round of 16, it was Switzerland's best performance in eight years.
