We'll know the make-up of Switzerland's Euro 2024 squad soon enough, with the tournament regulars stepping up preparations for their third successive Euros.
Switzerland have featured at all bar one major finals since 2004 (Euro 2012), reaching the quarter-finals of this competition last time around – the furthest they've ever gone, knocking out then world champions France en route.
Can they emulate that achievement this time around? First, they'll have to make it out of a Euro 2024 group also containing Scotland, Hungary and hosts Germany.
The Swiss have looked solid at the back lately, beating the Republic of Ireland 1-0 and drawing 0-0 with fellow Euros qualifiers Denmark in friendlies during the March international break.
As with every team involved in the finals, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Switzerland as we report live from the European Championship.

FAQs
How many players are Switzerland allowed to take to Euro 2024?
We don't know just yet – but expect 26.
UEFA confirmed in February that each competing nation will be able to name a final squad of 23 players in their Euro 2024 squads, including a mandatory three goalkeepers.
After a couple of tournaments featuring 26-player teams, UEFA have now reverted from the expanded squad.
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to 2021's European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fixture congestion, the expanded squads returned for the World Cup. Without those same issues, 23-player squads have made a return.
