Switzerland have departed for the 2026 World Cup without forward Breel Embolo, who was unable to travel to the United States due to a visa issue. The player's Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) was placed under review, preventing him from joining the squad.
The Swiss team will now have to compete without one of their key attacking options as they begin their tournament campaign. Embolo's absence is a significant blow to their hopes in the competition.
