Switzerland will look to throw a spanner in the works for their former coach Roy Hodgson as they take on England in their first UEFA EURO 2016 Group E game. Match background • Switzerland's record in 22 senior meetings with England is W3 D5 L14 (W3 D1 L8 at home – W0 D4 L5 in London). Those fixtures include a 3-0 win for England in Coimbra, Portugal, at UEFA EURO 2004 (Wayne Rooney 23, 75, Steven Gerrard 82). • That latter fixture is one of three finals meetings. England beat Switzerland 2-0 at the 1954 FIFA World Cup (Jimmy Mullen 43, Dennis Wilshaw 69) in Switzerland, but drew 1-1 against the Swiss at EURO '96. Alan Shearer's 23rd- minute goal at Wembley was cancelled out by Kubilay Türkyilmaz with seven minutes left. • England are unbeaten in eight games against Switzerland (W5 D3) since a 2-1 loss in a World Cup qualifier in Basel on 30 May 1981. Alfred Scheiwiler (28) and Claudio Sulser (30) scored for Paul Wolfisberg's Switzerland, Terry McDermott (54) on target for Ron Greenwood's England. • The sides last met in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying. Fabio Capello's England beat Ottmar Hitzfeld's Switzerland 3-1 in Basel on 7 September 2010, Rooney (10), Adam Johnson (69) and Darren Bent (88) on target either side of Stephan Lichtsteiner's dismissal (64) and Xherdan Shaqiri's spectacular 71st-minute strike for Switzerland. Those goals were Bent and Shaqiri's first for their respective nations. • England flirted with disaster when the sides met at Wembley on 4 June 2011, Tranquillo Barnetta (32, 35) giving the visitors a 2-0 lead before Frank Lampard (37) and Ashley Young (51) earned the home side a share of the points. • In 11 meetings in UEFA age-group competitions, Switzerland's record against England is W1 D2 L8. • Swiss and English clubs have met in 48 UEFA games, with the Swiss sides' record reading W12 D11 L25. • Hodgson was Switzerland coach from January 1992 to November 1995, guiding them to the 1994 World Cup – their first since 1966 – and EURO '96. The latter was the first time the Swiss had reached a UEFA European Championship, although he left for FC Internazionale Milano after qualification had been secured.

6 Switzerland - England Monday 8 September 2014 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit St. Jakob-Park, Basel Head coach Vladimir Petković Date of birth: 15 August 1963 Nationality: Swiss Playing career: FK Sarajevo (twice), FK Rudar Ljubija, FC Koper, FC Chur 97 (twice), FC Sion, FC Martigny-Sports, AC Bellinzona (twice), FC Locarno Coaching career: AC Bellinzona (twice), FC Malcantone Agno, AC Lugano, BSC Young Boys, Samsunspor, FC Sion, SS Lazio, Switzerland • Started his career in midfield with Sarajevo, losing in the 1983 Yugoslavian Cup final but featuring twice as his team took the 1984/85 league title, the only major honour of his playing days. • Moved to Switzerland in 1987, playing for second-tier Chur and then ascending to the top flight with Sion in 1988/89; failed to secure a regular place and returned to the second division to represent Martigny, Bellinzona and Locarno. • Petković hung up his boots in 1999, aged 36, following a season as player-coach at Bellinzona. Then led Malcantone Agno to promotion from the third divison in 2002/03 before becoming the first coach of AC Lugano – successors to FC Lugano. • Rejoined Bellinzona in October 2005, steering them to the 2007/08 Swiss Cup final, where they lost 4-1 to FC Basel 1893, but consolation came two weeks later as victory in a relegation/promotion play-off against FC St Gallen gave Bellinzona a Super League berth. • Was appointed Young Boys coach in August 2008, guiding them to second-placed finishes in his first two campaigns in charge as well the 2008/09 Swiss Cup final. After short spells in charge of Turkey's Samsunspor and Sion back in Switzerland, was named Lazio coach in June 2012 and won the Coppa Italia in his first term in Italy, also helping the side to seventh position in the final standings. Left in January 2014 after being anointed Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld's successor, taking the reins after the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Roy Hodgson Date of birth: 9 August 1947 Nationality: English Playing career: Crystal Palace FC, Tonbridge Angels FC, Gravesend and Northfleet FC, Maidstone United FC, Berea Park FC Coaching career: Halmstads BK, Bristol City FC, IK Oddevold, Örebro SK, Malmö FF, Neuchâtel Xamax FC, Switzerland, FC Internazionale Milano (twice), Blackburn Rovers FC, Grasshopper Club, FC København, Udinese Calcio, United Arab Emirates, Viking FK, Finland, Fulham FC, Liverpool FC, West Bromwich Albion FC, England • After he spent most of his playing days in the English non-league system, Hodgson's coaching career spanning eight countries began with Halmstad. He guided the Swedish club to their first-ever Allsvenskan titles in 1976 and 1979; then guided Malmö to top of the table for five years in a row, although the play-off system then used meant they were champions only twice in that time. • A period at Xamax followed before the first of four forays into international management. Hodgson's Switzerland qualified for the 1994 FIFA World Cup – their first in 28 years – and then EURO '96 but the coach departed for Inter before the latter tournament. • After taking the Nerazzurri to the 1997 UEFA Cup final, Hodgson had spells in England, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, the UAE, Norway and Finland, as well as a short stint back at Inter as technical director. • He returned to England and relegation-threatened Fulham in 2007/08, helping them to safety in his first term, a club- best seventh in the Premier League in his second and then the 2010 UEFA Europa League final. The 2-1 extra-time defeat by Club Atlético de Madrid proved his last game with the Cottagers, before he accepted the reins at Liverpool. • He left Anfield after 31 matches in charge, the shortest reign in Liverpool history, yet within five weeks was at West Brom, whom he steered to a then Premier League high of 11th. He was appointed England manager on 1 May 2012 and took them to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 World Cup, where they failed to get out of the group stage.

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
