Applications were submitted in August 2022,[2] while final submissions were made in October.[3] Switzerland were selected as hosts of the tournament on 4 April 2023 at the UEFA Executive Committee in Lisbon, Portugal. To be appointed as hosts, an absolute majority of votes was needed in the first round. If the first vote did not produce an absolute majority, the two bids with the most votes would advance to a second and final round. As the first round produced a three-way tie for first, a ballot was used to determine which two bidders would proceed to the second round.[4]

Marketing

Preparations

Switzerland has stated has that their goal is to sell out every game at the tournament and increase the benchmark for women's sporting events.[28]

On 8 March 2024, to celebrate 500 days to go before the tournament starts, the Swiss Football Association organised a kick off event in Bern. During the event, they launched their slogan for the tournament, Summit of Emotions.[29]

Despite being skeptical about the money involved,[30][31] Lucerne will fund the tournament for 4 million Francs and will organise an event a exactly a year before the tournament starts.[32][33][34]

The Security Commission in Bern approved a loan of 1.2 Francs for sports promotion after the tournament.[35][36]

The Finance Committee of the Council of States applied for a loan of 5 million francs for Swiss tourism in regards to the tournament.[37][38] They added another 1.13 millions Francs on 11 June 2024.[39]

On 31 May 2024, the Swiss Football Association published their legacy plan.[40][41]

On 14 June 2024, before the start of UEFA Euro 2024, a Swiss Federation delegation went to Swiss embassy in Berlin to have a sport-related party and discussed their ambitions for Euro 2025.[42]

Tickets

Around 720,000 tickets will be on sale for the tournament. Tickets prices start at 25 Francs.[43]

Controversies

Government funding

On 31 January 2024, the Swiss federal government announced they would support the tournament with 4 million Francs.[44][45] This sparked controversy as during the bidding process, they promised 15 million Francs and was a big reason why the Swiss bid won.[46][47] Many people around women's football and politicians in Switzerland criticised the funding cuts, with people from the former saying how England's hosting of the 2022 edition changed the perception of the sport in the country and had big economic benefits for the host cities.[46][48] Regarding the latter, co-president of the parliamentary group “Euro 25” Corina Gredig, said that the tournament will become a “junk tournament” with the lack of money.[49][50] While municipal councillor of host city Thun, Katharina Ali-Oesch, said they the city might have to withdraw as a host venue due to the cuts in funding.[49]

The Swiss Football Association also said that this money will only be partially sufficient for their goals for the tournament and hoped the situation will be taken up again in the further political discussion.[45] [51]

On 16 February 2024, the Committee of the Council of States for Science, Education and Culture, applied for a federal contribution of 15 million Francs for the competition.[52] The Council of States was able to get a cross-party commission motion calling for the federal government to support the Women's Euro 2025 in Switzerland with 15 million Francs to be unanimously approved by the lower house.[53][54][55]

Then, on 6 March 2024, the eight host cities sent a letter to the federal government asking them to reconsider their decision, stating that they have spent millions on this tournament and hoped for improvements.[56]

On 19 April 2024, mayor of Lucerne, Beat Züsli, stated that in order to deliver to tournament as sustainable as possible, the 15 million Francs are vital.[33][57][58][59]

On 27 April 2024, the Swiss house of representatives voted in favour of increasing the money to 15 million Francs.[60][61][62]

On 8 May 2024, the finance commission also threw their support for a potential increase in financial support.[37][63]

The official decision on the amount of money for the tournament will be confirmed during a Swiss parliament session in June 2024.[64] On 30 May 2024, the Council of States and the National Council officially reversed the decision to allocate 4 million and increased the distributed money to 15 million.[65][66][67]

Participation of Israel in qualification

According to the Scottish FA, "the forthcoming UEFA Women's EURO 2025 qualifier between Scotland and Israel at Hampden Park on May 31", because of keeping the safety of supporters, players, team staff and officials , "will be played behind closed doors".[68]
