The year 2006 is one of the most prominent in the recent history of Swiss football: the Nati participated in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where they reached the round of 16 before being eliminated by Ukraine on penalties—without conceding a single goal in the 90 minutes of the match, which made them the only team in World Cup history to be eliminated without conceding goals in regulation time. A team led by Köbi Kuhn with players such as Alexander Frei, Tranquillo Barnetta, Senderos, and Grichting. Puma outfitted the Swiss national team for that tournament with a red kit that became associated with that historic performance.
