The football party is approaching! The Women’s Football Euro begins Wednesday in Switzerland with in particular the first game in Basel of the national team against Norway. Kick -off at 9 p.m. Until July 27, 16 teams will compete for the coveted trophy and 31 matches are on the program.
The Swiss team has not really convinced in recent months, but for Marie-Laure Viola, chief editor at RTS, anything is possible. She explained on Tuesday, in the morning, that we could expect all the scenarios. As proof, Euro 2008 organized in Switzerland “where the gentlemen had not managed to qualify for the future. They had failed from the 1stis round. You have to know how to manage this pressure to play at home. “And even if the girls of Pia Sundhage did not convince, Marie-Laure Viola notes” that we can expect everything because it is a young team which is very talented, but which, on the other hand, sometimes struggles to manage her emotions. And in this area, Pia Sundhage has a lot of experience.
This female euro is a superb platform
Welcoming the euro in Switzerland, will certainly have repercussions on women’s football. Efforts are already made, with clubs that launch new sections, launch initiations. Marie-Laure Viola recalls that the last euro organized in England “has changed things, but to change things, you need a total will. A political will, a desire for clubs and a constant commitment. I think it is a first stone that is laid today. It will still take actions thereafter to perpetuate the situation. /SMA
