The miracle occured for the Swiss women’s basketball team! The national selection snatched at the end of the suspense its ticket for Euro 2025, thanks to its wide success obtained against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Sunday in Aarau on the last day of the playoffs.
the feat is historic. The last participation of a team from Swiss women in the final phase of a continental tournament dates back to … 1956!
