Women’s Euro Cup 2025
The Women’s Euro Cup, a soccer tournament that takes place every four years, is starting next Wednesday with 16 teams competing for first place. It is a soccer tournament that takes place every four years. It will take place in Switzerland, with the defending champions England looking to win again after Euro 2022 and Wales making their first appearance in an international tournament.
Euro 2025 will take place in several cities all over Switzerland. Some cities include Zurich (its largest city), Bern (its capital), Geneva, St. Gallen, Lucerne, and Sion. Their largest city, Zurich, their government is based in Bern, and Geneva will host games during the tournament. Other cities are St Gallen, Lucerne, and Sion. The first game will start on July 2nd in Thun with Iceland and Finland facing each other for the first time at a major tournament. The final will be held at St Jakob-Park in Basel.
Some of the best teams in the world are competing, including Spain, Germany, and England. England are the defending champions, but they had mixed performances in the Nations League, and famous players are missing from their team.
The Euros are similar to the World Cup, with 4 teams per group playing a round-robin: 3 points for winning a match, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss. Then, the top two teams of each group go into the quarter-finals. The finals will take place on July 27. England’s first match will take place on July 5, along with Wales against the Netherlands. England and Wales are in the same group, so they will face each other on July 13.
Famous soccer players like Aitana Bonmatí will also be playing. She is a Spanish midfielder who won the Ballon d’Or last year, and England’s manager, Sarina Wiegman, said she’s “very happy” with the England squad despite Mary Earps, Fran Kirby, and Millie Bright missing. Alessia Russo will be England’s main goal-scorer, according to BBC Sport’s Nesta McGregor. The Wales squad has also been announced, with Cymru’s record goal scorer and the most capped player, Jess Fishlock. Along with those two, former captain Sophe Ingle will return from injury to play in Euro 2025.
