New Delhi, July 7 -- Switzerland will lock horns with Colombia in a highly anticipated round of 16 clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup at BC Place Vancouver on Wednesday, 8 July.

Both Switzerland and Colombia's best finishes in the FIFA World Cup have been quarter-final finishes. While Switzerland have reached the last eight stage thrice (1934, 1938 and 1954), Colombia did so in 2014 in Brazil, where they lost to the hosts.

Switzerland began their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Qatar, before going on to thump Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1 in their second group stage match. The Granit Xhaka-led side then wrapped up the group stage with a 2-1 win over co-hosts Canada, before beating Algeria 2-0 in the round of 32.
