Switzerland and Cameroon are scheduled to square off against each other on Thursday, November 24 at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah. Switzerland and Cameroon are placed in the Group G alongside tournament favourites Brazil and Serbia.

Switzerland faced elimination in the Round of 16 stage at two consecutive FIFA World Cups in 2014 and 2018 and will look to break the deadlock in Qatar. Cameroon's best run at the FIFA World Cup was in 1990 when they reached the quarterfinals, however, the team have failed to progress from the group stage since then.

After showing promising performance in the UEFA World Cup qualifiers, Switzerland booked a direct qualification to the FIFA World Cup finals in Qatar after finishing at the top of the group that also included four-time World Cup winners Italy. On the other hand, Cameroon registered five victories in six games to qualify for the Qatar World Cup after failing to feature in the 2018 World Cup.
