The Swiss national football team will be testing itself against top-class opponents next spring.
On Friday, March 27, Germany will be the guests in Basel's St. Jakob-Park, and four days later Murat Yakin's team will face Norway with its star striker Erling Haaland in Oslo.
All three teams have qualified for this summer's World Cup finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Switzerland will play in the preliminary round in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Vancouver against co-hosts Canada, Qatar and one of the quartet of Italy, Northern Ireland, Wales and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
These teams will battle it out for one of the last World Cup places in the semi-finals and final of the same international match window in March.
