Manager: Köbi Kuhn
Star Players: Stéphane Chapuisat, Hakan Yakin, S Henchoz
Honours: None
Qualification: Winners, Group 10

Having missed out on all three international tournaments since Euro 96, Switzerland put their past troubles behind them by qualifying for only their second appearance at a European Championships.

They finished top of a tough qualifying group that included Rep of Ireland and Russia thanks to a 2-0 win over Brian Kerr’s side in the final game of the group.

Coach Köbi Kuhn has fashioned a creative, attractive side which, inspired by the veteran Stephane Chapuisat, could spring a surprise or two at Euro 2004.
