Switzerland national team vs. Norway, Iceland and Finland

Swiss footballers get to know their opponents at home at next summer's European Championships. The draw in Lausanne placed the team in a group with their Nordic rivals.

Swiss Group

Switzerland will host their opening match at the St. Jacobs Park in Basel on July 2 against Norway. The European champions of 1987 and 1993 are no longer as irresistible as in previous years, but are probably Switzerland's strongest opponents in Group A. Ada Hegerberg and Caroline Graham Hansen are Norway's two star forwards. By the time of the European Cup showdown, the two teams will have met twice in the Nations League.

The match between Switzerland and Norway is also the opening match in Basel.

UEFA draw guru Giorgio Marchetti explains the rules of the draw.

The actual draw results for each group are getting closer and closer.

Maddli is named after Madeleine Boll, Switzerland's first licensed football player.

“Research shows that events like this can give a huge boost to women's football in the host country. I hope this tournament will do twice the result with half the effort. We have a lot of good players who have made breakthroughs in recent years. The number of licensed players will double. If I Ten years younger, I will give everything to compete in this competition.”

These cities are Basel, Bern, Geneva, Thun, Sion, Lucerne, Zurich and St. Gallen.

Not mental pressure, but musical pressure. The French-speaking Swiss rapper opened the show in Lausanne.

“There is still a lot to be excited about, but of course we are very excited. Towards the end of the year, everything will slow down a bit, but the preparations will continue immediately. Everything has to start now. We are in very close contact with UEFA Contact and provided the latest news in various areas. Time flies and there is always a lot to do and not everything is predictable, such as what the conditions of the pitch will be like in the summer but we are fully staffed and I am. I don't have any ideal opponents.”

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright and Annette Fetscherin from SRF will host the event. Xherdan Shaqiri, Lala Dickenman, Leonardo Bonucci, Sami Khedira and Raphael Varane are among the footballing celebrities invited.

Despite their victory, the Swiss team finished last at the competition in Freiburg. Switzerland celebrated its first home win after ten defeats on the European Hockey Tour, defeating Finland 1-0.

National team coach Patrick Fisher made no secret of his irritation at his players' yet another lack of necessary composure following Saturday's 2-0 defeat to world champions Czech Republic. Although this is also a shortcoming against the Finnish team, the team showed a completely different look from Freiburg's previous two games – they lost 1-4 to the Swedish team on Thursday.
