The Swiss national football team also known as the Schweizer Nati is the national football team of Switzerland and is controlled by the Swiss Football Association. Its best performances in the World Cup have been reaching the quarter-finals, in 1934, 1938 and when the country hosted the event in 1954. Switzerland also won silver at the 1924 Olympics. The 2002 U-17 European Championship was won by the Nati. In 2006, Switzerland set a FIFA World Cup record by being eliminated from the competition despite not conceding a goal in any of their four matches. In addition, Switzerland set a World Cup record by failing to score a single goal in a penalty shootout.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/4991532.stm] However, the team returned to their home country to a heroes' welcome.
