2026 FIFA WORLD CUP: Switzerland and Bosnia-Herzegovina confirmed lineup.

Switzerland and Bosnia-Herzegovina have confirmed their starting line-ups ahead of their eagerly anticipated international encounter, with both sides naming experienced squads as they look to claim victory.

Switzerland head into the match with Gregor Kobel starting in goal behind a back four of Silvan Widmer, Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodríguez. Captain Granit Xhaka anchors the midfield alongside Michel Aebischer and Remo Freuler, providing experience and control in the centre of the park.

Further forward, Fabian Rieder and Dan Ndoye will operate from the flanks, supporting striker Breel Embolo, who leads the Swiss attack as they seek to make the most of their offensive quality.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, meanwhile, line up in a 4-4-2 formation with Nikola Vasilj between the posts. The defence features Sead Kolašinac, Nikola Katić, Tarik Muharemović and Amar Dedić.

In midfield, Kerim Alajbegović and Armin Memić occupy the wide positions, while Ivan Šunjić and Benjamin Tahirović are tasked with controlling the middle of the pitch. Veteran captain Edin Džeko partners Ermedin Demirović in attack, giving Bosnia-Herzegovina a formidable strike partnership capable of troubling the Swiss defence.

With seasoned leaders, experienced defenders and proven goalscorers on both sides, the stage is set for an intriguing contest between two well-balanced European nations.
