Winsley Boteli and Alessandro Romano join Swiss National Team

Swiss National Team coach Murat Yakin has secured the commitment of two dual-national players for the upcoming Nations League squad. Winsley Boteli, a 20-year-old striker for FC Sion, has officially chosen to represent Switzerland over the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Boteli’s decision has drawn significant criticism on social media from Congolese users, with some accusing him of betraying his heritage. Boteli has defended his choice, noting his long-standing involvement in Swiss youth selections.

Additionally, Yakin has successfully recruited Alessandro Romano, a 20-year-old midfielder currently playing for Cagliari in Italy, to play for the Swiss national side.
