Euro 2025: how the footballers took advantage of Switzerland

Launched on July 2, Euro 2025 women ends in apotheosis this Sunday evening (6 p.m.) at the Basel Saint-Jacques park with a dream final between England, title holder, and Spain, outgoing world champion. During the last month, the various selections present in Switzerland had the opportunity to discover what our country had to offer. And they were visibly won over.

Before their first group match, the German semi-finalists made an excursion to central Switzerland. They sailed on Lake Quatre Cantons by boat, before taking the train to go to the top of Rigi. The players had then tried the Cor of the Alps.

The Italians, also semi-finalists of the competition, stayed in Weggis, in the canton of Lucerne, during the entire tournament. They immortalized their stay in our regions by taking a group photo by the Lake Quatre Cantons.

Based in Lausanne, the Spanish world champions particularly appreciated their stay with us. And not only on the field, where they are about to compete in the final this Sunday evening (6 p.m.). A week ago, the star Aitana Bonmati shared photos of her excursion to his Naye rocks, in the canton of Vaud on her Instagram account. Accompanied by the following text: “I found peace in the Swiss Alps.” The double golden ball also tested the fondue.

Present in the pool of the Swiss team, the Icelanders have granted themselves some moments of relaxation in Lake Thoune. After intensive training sessions, some have ventured into Oberlandaise water. It must be said that the climate in Switzerland is much more pleasant than on the side of Reykjavik.

First female golden ball in history (in 2018), Ada Hegerberg also stayed in Thoune. The Star of the Norwegian selection, also presents in the group of the Swiss team, took advantage of the hot and sunny days to prick a head in the Bernese Oberland lake. And to relax on an inflatable pink flamingo.

Wales, which made its debut in a European championship, also gave itself time to visit our country. Goalkeeper Olivia Clark did not miss the opportunity to admire the view from the summit of Pilatus. The British selection has also ventilated its mind through a few bicycle walks and golf games.

Like the Welshman Olivia Clark, the Kosovare Asllani also went up to the top of the Pilatus. On her Instagram account, the captain of the Sweden team did not hide her admiration. “The beautiful Swiss nature,” wrote the 35 -year -old player.

The English, who dream of keeping their continental crown this Sunday evening at the Saint-Jacques park, stayed in Zurich in the last month. Midfielder Grace Clinton shared her adventures in German -speaking Switzerland on her social networks, between visits, walks and small purchases at the local grocery store.

Housed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Geneva, the Finns had the amenities necessary to relax between two training sessions. The players in northern Europe, who appeared in the group of the Swiss team, had in particular the tradition of sharing a cup of coffee. In the city of Calvin or elsewhere.

The Belgian goalkeeper Femke Bastiaen shared on her Instagram account some photos of her hike on the side of the flour gateway. This is located near Saillon (in Valais), where the players of the flat country had established their base camp for the euro.
