Zeki Amdouni

Zeki Amdouni is a forward in Switzerland's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named by Murat Yakin in the list announced on 20 May 2026. The 25-year-old plays for Burnley and goes into the tournament with a record of 11 goals in 27 caps for Switzerland.

A forward who can also play as an attacking midfielder, Amdouni has been an efficient finisher for the national team since his first caps in 2022. Switzerland are in Group B and open against Qatar at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on 13 June, having won their UEFA qualifying group under Murat Yakin. For the 25-year-old, the finals would be a first senior World Cup, having missed out on Switzerland's 2022 squad.

Amdouni is a forward for Burnley, a player comfortable leading the line or dropping into a more advanced midfield role. For Switzerland he has been an efficient finisher, at his best getting into scoring positions and taking the chances that come his way.

Whether leading the line or playing off a main striker, his game is built on goalscoring. For Murat Yakin, Amdouni offers a forward option with a proven international scoring record for the national side.

Amdouni gives Switzerland's Goal Rush pick a forward with a real goal threat, an efficient finisher at international level. Switzerland are rated Tier 4 at £10m, a small outlay within the game's £200m card budget, with Group B to come.

At the lower end of the card, his appeal is that scoring record — Amdouni is a forward who gets into the right areas and finishes his chances when he plays for Switzerland.
