Euro 2020 quarterfinalists Switzerland will open their FIFA World Cup 2022 Group G campaign against Cameroon on Thursday (November 24). The Swiss have an impressive record in the World Cups, having progressed to the second stage in three of their last four appearances in the past. The team will be led by Arsenal mid-fielder Granit Xhaka and will be hoping to improve on their Round of 16 appearance in the 2018 World Cup, where they were eliminated by Sweden.
Switzerland can’t afford a slip-up in this match as they have tougher opponents like Neymar’s Brazil waiting for them in this tough group. The Swiss and Cameroon teams have played at 19 World Cup finals, with the Swiss making their debut in 1934 and Cameroon in 1982. Switzerland have been three-time quarterfinalists in 1934, 1938 and 1958 while Cameroon also reached the last eight stage in their famous run in 1990.
In the second match of the day, Luis Suarez’s Uruguay will take on dangerous South Korea side in a Group H match at 630pm IST while Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal will open their campaign against Ghana at 930pm IST.
