Switzerland could become a popular sports betting pick to go on a deep run this summer.
Their squad doesn’t have the superstar names of many other European nations, but they are blessed with plenty of tournament experience and a favourable group, facing Canada, Qatar and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Regulars at major tournaments, the Swiss have a knack for making the knockout rounds, though they’ve not reached a World Cup quarterfinal since 1954.
What is the average salary for Switzerland players?
The average salary of the 2026 Switzerland World Cup squad is likely in the region of £50,000 per week. There’s a large range of salaries in the Swiss squad, from players on Champions League teams down to those on clubs outside the topflight in their respective nations.
Cedric Itten, Michel Aebischer, and Marvin Keller are likely to have the lowest salaries in the current Switzerland squad. Exact figures are hard to come by for most players in the squad.
Who are the top earning players for Switzerland?
Gregor Kobel, Nico Elvedi, and Granit Xhaka are thought to be Switzerland’s highest-earning players. Kobel has the largest weekly wage of the trio at north of £150,000, while numerous sources claim Xhaka is earning over £100,000 since joining Premier League betting regulars Sunderland.
Several other Swiss players, including Breel Embolo and Denis Zakaria, are handsomely compensated by their respective clubs.
How much does the Switzerland manager earn?
Murat Yakin is on £1.4 million per year. Yakin, who earned 49 caps for Switzerland between 1994 and 2004, has been in charge of the Nati since 2021.
Under Yakin, Switzerland reached the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup and the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
