In the fiery match between Switzerland and France with a score of 3-3, we witnessed a memorable goal from Gavranovic in the 90th minute. This is one of the most exciting quarterfinal matches of the Euro 2020 season. With this result, the question is whether Switzerland will continue to advance to their first Euro 2024 semi-final?
To better understand Switzerland’s ability, let’s look back at the history of the UEFA Euro tournament from 1960 to the present 2024. In 16 tournaments, 10 countries have won. The leading teams are Germany and Spain with 3 wins each. Next are France and Italy with 2 times, followed by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, and Portugal all with 1 championship.
Switzerland, as a country that has never won the Euro, has a great opportunity to make history. They had an impressive season with three World Cup quarterfinals and Euro 2020 quarterfinals.
Switzerland is currently ranked 19th on the FIFA ranking and has a strong squad. This includes top players like Gregor Kobel, Manuel Akanji, Xherdan Shaqiri, and Granit Xhaka.
Under the leadership of coach Murat Yakin, Switzerland is full of hope and ready to conquer Euro 2024. Let’s wait and see whether Switzerland will continue to make history!
