Euro 2025: Comment: Keep the flame on

The real challenge of this Euro 2025, and everyone evoked him before the tournament, it will be his inheritance. It will be even harder given the craze.

Madness in the streets of Bern.

A poisoned gift? No, anyway. We all expected this euro a little success. Switzerland knows how to organize things, it’s a superb country and we have trains that arrive more on time than everywhere else on the old continent or almost. Yes, yes. It is the attitude of the public and especially of the “big” public that was going to make this event for a good time, a success or a big party. The question was quickly answered.

Before the start of hostilities – I know my Swiss audience … – I said who wanted to hear it – not necessarily a grand world … – that a victory at the Nati entry against Norway and people were going to ignite. Well, it was not until four more days and a success against Iceland that it is verified. Then, a “simple draw” snatched from Finland in the 92nd minute buted the fire from a region that likes to meet during the summer. This time, the little music was that of a balloon game and supporters’ songs.

Afterwards, we fell a little in anything. Friday, there were 29,734 spectators at the Wankdorf and there, the accounts are not good. Because if you take off the Spanish 2000, neutral fans and everything, you are still wondering at the finish who were these 25,000 people to have paraded between the federal square and the Bernese stadium. It probably means that this fanwalks fashion has become so a “hype” that people came to the capital just to walk with other fans in red and white and support their compatriots.

That’s a sign of something. But the Swiss public is known to be particularly event. All the more in the field of sport. Will the opportunistic fans of this joyful troop in the middle of summer be there for a friendly match of second zone a rainy evening in the fall without the atmosphere of a Walk fan in the streets of Bern? This is one of the challenges of the next few times, but not the main thing.

Because parading before a women’s football match has not become the new normality, everyone agrees. Some and some connoisseurs of this environment also fears a hell of a post-Euro wood. After being brought to the clouds for weeks, women’s football will have to return to earth and perpetuate itself. This is also why UEFA organizes it at a loss.

The real victory will not have 15 or 20,000 fans in a stadium in a few months. It will be to have lots of girls who want to do the same as in the TV and the clubs manage to welcome them in terms of training and the number of land. The rest will naturally follow.
