The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation ( or nations ) over a period of about a month.

They opened their campaign with a 2 - 1 victory over Ecuador in Brasilia. However, in their next match, they suffered a 5 - 2 defeat to France. Despite the initial setback, a 3 - 0 victory in their final game against Honduras, courtesy of a hat - trick by Xherdan Shaqiri sent them into the round of 16, where they faced the two - time world champions and eventual runners - up Argentina. The game was goalless and nearly heading to penalties when Ángel Di María scored a 118th - minute extra time goal to send Argentina into the quarter - finals. Despite being eliminated in the round of 16, it was Switzerland 's best performance in eight years.
