The Swiss kick off the competition this Saturday in Egypt.
Here is the Schedule:
25 Jan: Switzerland-Egypt
27 Jan: Switzerland-Nigeria
29 Jan: Switzerland-Burkina Faso
1 Feb: Switzerland-Mali
This should be a good tournament for the U-18 to play in. I will try and post match reports when I find them like I did with the u21's in the Toyota Cup.
Here is an article about the team:

It is rather complementary.

Switzerland-Egypt 2-0
Two goals from Slavisa Dugic lead the way for Switzerland. Not a bad start for the Swiss team with a victory over the host nation. Europe won all for games, the are ahead 4-0 in standings.

Switzerland and Burkina Faso tie 1-1. The game was ended in the 83rd minute because Burkina Faso had five players sent off. Because the tournament is a friendly one, it was ruled a tie. That means that Switzerland has secured 5 points for Europe, not bad.

Spain 12 points
England 8 points
Switzerland 8 points
France 8 points
Burkina Faso 4 points
Nigeria 4 points
Egypt 1 Point
Mali 1 Point
A nice tournament for the Swiss youngsters. Good wins against Mali and the hosts Egypt. In any other tournament, their tie with Burkina Faso would have been a forefit victory. And a tie with Nigeria is a good result also.
Great tournament for Slavisa Dugic with three of the goals.
