The Swiss team are currently the most active national women's side, having competed internationally every year since their first match in 2009 and having played over 20 matches during that time.[2][3] Having only previously competed in friendlies and exhibition events, Switzerland Women subsequently debuted competitively in the first official women's event organised by Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW) in 2016, the Women's Euro Beach Soccer Cup.[4] In both editions to date, the Swiss have finished runners-up.[5][6]

The squad mostly comprises players who play in the Suzuki Swiss Beach Soccer Women-League.[1]
