Qatar vs Switzerland FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B match: The last edition’s hosts – Qatar – will open their Group B campaign in FIFA World Cup 2026 against Switzerland at the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco Bay Area on Saturday. Based on current FIFA ranking, Switzerland would be favourites to top Group B which also includes Canada and Bosnia & Herzegovina apart from Qatar.
Canada and Bosnia played out a 1-1 draw on Friday and the Swiss will look at this opportunity to soar to the top of the table after a win over Qatar. While the Swiss have managed to get out of the Group Stages in the recent editions but have crashed out of the Round of 16 stages in the last three World Cups.
Former Spain coach Julen Lopetegui is currently in charge of the Qatar team and has managed to eke out a couple of wins from this side in the last 13 matches. But the Asian side have failed to win in their last 6 games heading into the FIFA World Cup 2026. The team has lost to Zimbabwe and Palestine with draws against El Salvador and Syria.
Switzerland, on the other hand, were dominant in the Qualifying stages with 14 goals in six games. The scored four times against US and Mexico in recent times and also had high-scoring clashes against Germany and Jordan.
The two nations have only faced off once in their history, back in 2018 in a friendly match in November 2018, where Qatar edged the hosts 1–0 at Stadio di Cornaredo in Lugano, Switzerland.
The Swiss, though, have been unbeaten in their last six World Cup openers, since losing 5-0 to West Germany in the 1966 World Cup. They will be confident of making it seven in a row against Qatar, who are ranked at 56th place in the current FIFA World Rankings, 37 places below thems (19th).
