Soccer Books, Part Ten-Switzerland National team

The best books about the History of the Switzerland National Team.



These are the books that I have chosen:

Book I
‘80 Anni di Calcio Svizzero’
Author: Armando Libotte
Published in 1985.
Written Language: Italian

This small book has all Switzerland lineups (as well as opponents) for every Portugal match until 1985.
There are few archival photographs, the format is that of an Almanaque.

Book IV
‘Die Nati, Die Geschichte der Schweizer Fussball-Nationalmanschaft’
Author: Beat Jung
Published in 2006.
Written Language: German

This book deals with the History of Swiss National Team with many archival photographs.
Similar to ‘L’Equipe de Suisse’, this is not a statistical book, but more about the History and stories surrounding the National Team.
