SWISS and the National Football Team

Passion for high performance, team spirit and attention to detail are attributes that SWISS associates with sport. As the perfect travel partner, SWISS is committed to Swiss sport and is proud to support national teams from the following associations on their way to sporting events abroad. The Swiss Football Association is one of the country's most important sports organisations. The Swiss national teams (men, women, juniors) are supported with extensive services for their air travel to matches.

As the official airline partner, SWISS flies the teams of the Swiss national team to their tournaments abroad – and back home to Switzerland again, of course. On board, our attentive cabin crew ensures that the players are as comfortable as possible to help them prepare for their upcoming competitions.

Exclusive partnerships

Through partnerships with Swiss sporting associations and international events in Switzerland, we are able to live our commitment to Switzerland. As a small airline, it is particularly important to SWISS to be close to its Swiss guests and fans, and to share memorable experiences with them, both in the air and on the ground. Thus, for instance, SWISS was the only airline that enabled fans to fly to France together with the Swiss national team. However, passengers also had the opportunity to meet some of the stars before the event.
