The 2026 World Cup is underway, with six FC Augsburg players involved. Here is an overview of all matches and results featuring FCA players.
Matchday 1, Group B: Qatar 1-1 Switzerland
Fabian Rieder was the first FCA player in action, featuring for Switzerland against Qatar. The attacking midfielder was not named in the starting XI for the Group B fixture. Breel Embolo gave Switzerland the lead from the penalty spot in the 17th minute.
Rieder came on in the 66th minute and made his presence felt with several attacking contributions. Switzerland were unable to add a second, however, and were punished in stoppage time as Qatar grabbed a surprise equaliser. The 1-1 goal was credited as a Miro Muheim own goal.
Switzerland therefore take one point from their opening game and will next face Bosnia and Herzegovina, who also had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Canada in the other Group B fixture. The match takes place on Thursday, 18th June at 21:00 CEST.
These World Cup updates will be added to throughout the tournament after matches involving FCA players.
