Switzerland and Spain UEFA Euros Tournament Record
In terms of history, Switzerland simply cannot compete with Spain. The Swiss have never progressed beyond the quarter-finals at the European Championships.
Their first appearance at the knockout stages was at Euro 2016. They backed this up by reaching the quarter-finals at Euro 2020, losing to Spain on penalties following their victory over France in the last 16.
In contrast, Spain is the joint-most successful nation to participate in the European Championships. They’ve won the tournament three times and are always among the top contenders.
Their initial success came at Euro 1964, overcoming the Soviet Union in the final. Later, Spain claimed consecutive European Championship trophies in 2008 and 2012, revolutionising international football with their unique 'tiki-taka' possession-based style.
Switzerland vs Spain Head to Head
Switzerland and Spain have met once previously in the European Championships. In the quarter-finals at Euro 2020, the match concluded 1-1 after 120 minutes and Switzerland were eliminated after a dramatic penalty shootout.
Traditionally, La Roja has dominated Switzerland in this matchup. Out of over 25 matches, the Swiss have managed just two victories. Yet, Switzerland can draw confidence from their recent 2-1 triumph over Spain in the UEFA Nations League, instilling hope for a competitive showdown.
