Qatar vs. Switzerland: Head-to-head record and past meetings ahead of 2026 World Cup contest
Qatar and Switzerland meet for only the second time in history — their sole previous encounter ended in a 1-0 win for Qatar back in 2018.
World Cup
Qatar and Switzerland open their 2026 World Cup campaigns against each other at Levi's Stadium on Saturday, in what is their first ever competitive meeting. Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina complete Group B, making it a fascinating battle for the knockout rounds.
The two sides have met just once before — a November 2018 international friendly, which Qatar won 1-0 thanks to Akram Afif's 86th-minute strike. Saturday's clash will therefore be historic, as it marks the first time the two nations face each other in a competitive fixture.
