5. Fabian Rieder (Switzerland)

One of the most creative players in Switzerland’s line-up, Fabian Rieder, will be responsible for creating chances against Qatar. He joined Augsburg last summer from Stade Rennais and has since been a regular starter for the German club. Playing 36 matches for Augsburg in 2025/26, he scored six goals and provided four assists. Thus, Rieder will be expected to fill in the gaps for Switzerland against Qatar.

4. Homam Al-Amin (Qatar)

Currently playing for CyD Leonesa in LaLiga2, Homam Al-Amin will feature as a left-back for Qatar in their group stage game against Switzerland. Al-Amin also has experience playing for the national team, having earned 69 caps for Al-Annabi. Nevertheless, in their second World Cup campaign, Homam Al-Amin will play a greater role under Julen Lopetegui.

3. Johan Manzambi (Switzerland)

Johan Manzambi is one of the most promising talents in the Swiss line-up. The national team has produced players like Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye in the last few years, and now the next big name could be Johan Manzambi.

The 20-year-old also enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season with SC Freiburg, and Swiss coach Murat Yakin believes the 20-year-old could be crucial to Nati’s success at the 2026 World Cup. Johan Manzambi was also important to Freiburg’s UEFA Europa League run, which ended with them in second place.

2. Dan Ndoye (Switzerland)

Dan Ndoye plays for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, primarily as a right winger, but he can also play on the left flank. Ndoye can make wide runs across flanks while also creating chances in tight spaces. Despite not getting regular minutes in the Premier League, the 25-year-old can be a crucial part of Switzerland’s zig-zag at the 2026 World Cup.

1. Jassem Gaber (Qatar)

Primarily playing as a defensive midfielder, Jassem Gaber can also play as a central defender or a full back. The 24-year-old currently plays for Al-Rayyan and has earned 34 caps for Qatar.

Gaber will help the side with pressing and can also make runs on the right flank, depending on the team’s requirements. Jassem Gaber has given promising performances in the 2025/26 season; he’s expected to replicate the success at the global stage.
