Switzerland's football stars shine for national team despite limited club roles

Tuesday, 14 April 2026 · 1 min read

Switzerland's women's football team is relying on a trio of standout players — Sydney Schertenleib (FC Barcelona), Livia Peng (Chelsea), and Iman Beney (Manchester City) — as it pushes for World Cup qualification, with upcoming matches against Turkey at Zurich's Letzigrund stadium on Tuesday and in Sinop on Saturday. Despite playing peripheral roles at their top European clubs, all three are expected to be decisive for Switzerland, which currently sits 32 places above Turkey in the FIFA world rankings and has won its first two qualifying matches against Northern Ireland and Malta. The situation highlights a broader trend of Swiss women's talent migrating to England's Women's Super League, with captain Lia Wälti also widely expected to return to London from Italy this summer.
