Denmark – Switzerland
Now live: Shaqiri comes into play – will he be the match winner?
The 2024 European Championship is getting closer. Today the Swiss footballers are playing their first international match of the year in Denmark. Will the turnaround succeed after an unconvincing 2023? Follow the game in the live ticker.
Yann Sommer collapses. A little later he has to be replaced.

Let’s go! The 2024 international match year has begun. The Swiss national team is testing in Denmark.
It’s still 0-0. Unfortunate from a Swiss perspective: goalkeeper Yann Sommer twists his right foot while defending. At first he tries to move on. But the pain is too great. He had to be substituted in the 37th minute and Yvon Mvogo replaced him. This is also unfortunate because the actual replacement, Gregor Kobel, once again left the Nati camp prematurely.

The first impression counts
Last autumn, Switzerland was hardly ever convincing. Qualifying for the European Championships turned out to be a tough game. Since the end of March 2023, the national team has only defeated Andorra (twice). There were draws against Romania, Kosovo (2x), Belarus and Israel, as well as a defeat against Romania at the end.

The future of national coach Murat Yakin was at risk. He was barely able to stay in office. Now the new international year begins. It won’t be quite three months until the European Championships begin. But for Switzerland, the first impression counts. Tonight in Denmark. And then on Tuesday in Ireland.
