International career

On 14 November 2009, Barmettler had made his international debut for Switzerland in the 0–1 home loss to Norway, playing the full 90 minutes. However, as the match was friendly and in addition he was never called after that date, Barmettler chose to change his FIFA nationality into Dominican Republic in 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.balompiedominicano.com/2012/09/heinz-barmettler-veloz-vestira-la.html|title=Heinz Barmettler Veloz vestirá la camiseta Dominicana|author=Franklin Grullón|language=es|trans-title=Heinz Barmettler Veloz will wear the Dominican jersey|work=Balompié Dominicano|date=September 17, 2012}}
