UEFA Women's Euro Switzerland 2025

[Jackson Harrison]

Intuiton!

The June FIFA window finishes on Tuesday 11 June.

Therefore I expect the Club WC to start on Monday 16 June, with 4 x GS games each day, so the GS would run from Monday 16 to Friday 27 June, then the R16 - 2 x games each day - from Saturday 28 June to Tuesday 1 July, followed by quarterfinals (Friday 4 and Saturday 5 July), semifinals (Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 July), and the third place game and final (Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 July).

Players aren't going to get a break are they?

[Witkop1983]

We know Switzerland will be in league B. Therefore we have 9 qualified teams (A1+A2+Switzerland). That means we need 14 teams in the final playoff.
I don't like having many teams that achieved near to nothing in the playoffs, so i would get rid of C2 and B3.

This leaves me with 21 teams (or more probably 20 if Switzerland finishes 1st or 2nd).

2 rounds of playoffs with certain teams skipping round 1

round 1: A4, B2 and C1 (12 teams)
round 2: 6 round 1 winners, A3 and B1

If Switzerland finishes B1 the best 2nd placed team, or the 2nd placed team from Switzerlands team is promoted to B1 and skips round 1. If Switzerland finishes B2 no adjustments have to be made.
If Switzerland finishes B3 or B4 we have one team too many, two worst A3 or two worst B1 teams could join round 1.

Seeding: round 1. 3 pots... 4 teams in A4 play against 4 teams in C1. one team in B2 plays against C1, other two B2 teams play against eachother.
round 2: 8 teams that had a bye are put in pot one. other 6 teams in pot 2. 6 ties between pot 1 and pot 2. one tie between two pot 1 teams

'Catastrophe' for Alisha Lehmann and Switzerland! Euro 2025 hosts see funding for tournament cut drastically in controversial move that has caused 'outrage' in parliament

The decision to cut the funding for the 2025 women's European Championship in Switzerland has been labelled a "catastrophe".

Swiss publication SRF states the country's Federal Council does not want to spend as much money on the women's Euros, where Aston Villa star Alisha Lehmann will be the face of the tournament, as originally planned. The report says 15 million Swiss Francs (£13.5m) were initially earmarked but that has fallen to 4 million Swiss Francs (£3.6m) - something that has been widely criticised.

What does this mean practically?

Is it possible Switzerland get stripped?

The Swiss Federal Government is cutting finances for the 2025 Women's European Championships.

Originally the government planned to spend 15M Swiss francs, but now it will only be 4M francs.

They spent 82M Francs for the men's Euro in 2008 (co-hosted with Austria).

Not sure if they will be stripped, but it is possible if UEFA considers them to have violated the hosting agreement. Too early to say of course, since many members of the Swiss parliament opposed the cut.

Is this stipulated in the hosting agreement?

The question is - if Switzerland is stripped who could stand in? Very few countries are able to host at such short notice, England and Germany could potentially as they have the Euro infrastructure in place that could be reused easily.

Again, no idea. Maybe France can host? They hosted 2019 WWC, will host 2024 Olympics, and also bid for the 2025 W Euros.

Meanwhile, Denmark and Sweden will bid for 2029 W Euros (this time minus Finland and Norway) after losing the 2025 bid: https://www.forbes.com/sites/asifburhan ... aca35d3559

I think they realize that a four-country bid is quite unlikely to win as the tournament is too spread out.

Bidding will probably open after the final tournament in 2025.

Oh that's abiT unfair leaving out! When will bids open?

Why?

[Jackson Harrison]

Oh that's abiT unfair leaving out! When will bids open?

Why?

Because they invested in the bid last time around and a 4 nation bid has happened before.

So it's unfair to attempt to improve your chances to succeed after a failed bid? Unless they made an agreement to apply once more as the same group in case of failure, I don't see how this is unfair.

Because they put in the same hard work to the bid and should get the chance to host again!
