Organizes the Women’s European Football Championship in Basel: Sabine Horvath
The women’s European Football Championship in Basel should become a huge sports festival for everyone, said Sabine Horvath, overall project manager for UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 Basel, at a round table discussion on Wednesday at the opening of the Spring Basel trade fair. The main goal of the tournament is to improve the conditions so that girls want to and can play football. Because there are still big differences between women’s and men’s football, said Horvath.
The women’s European Championship will take place from July 2nd to 27th, 2025 in the cities of Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich, Lucerne, Sion, St. Gallen and Thun. It is very important that the event takes place in Switzerland, said Marion Daube, director of women’s football at the Swiss Football Association.
The opening and final games as well as three games will take place in Basel, where the motto is “Basel with passion for the ball”. According to Horvath, the Women’s European Football Championship will be made visible in Basel next summer. There will be an advertising tram, a countdown clock and a soccer court on the exhibition grounds.
Basel-Stadt approved 12.6 million
“Basel is very important for us because the opening game and the largest stadium is here,” said Doris Keller, tournament director for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025. Until the starting signal, it’s all about igniting euphoria for the tournament. It is not yet clear to everyone that the Women’s European Football Championship would take place in Switzerland. Most recently, the Council of States Commission almost quadrupled the contribution requested by the Federal Council. Instead of the Federal Council’s four million, they unanimously requested 15 million francs. The final decision should be made in the summer session. “We hope that the decision can be changed,” said Keller. The Basel-City Council is already approving an expenditure of 12.9 million for the European Football Championship for women at the beginning of 2023.
