Reddit user doberlae has noted the missing players:
- Gökhan Inler (parents immigrated form Turkey)
- Blerim Dzemaili (born in Macedonia)
- Tranquillo Barnetta (parents immigrated from Italy)
- Granit Xhaka (parents immigrated from Kosovo)
- Xherdan Shaqiri (born in Yugoslavia)
- Diego Benaglio (parents immigrated from Italy)
