Switzerland national under-21 football team at the [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship

The Switzerland national under-21 football team is the national under-21 football team of Switzerland and is controlled by the Swiss Football Association. The team competes in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which is held every two years.

UEFA U-23 championship record
