Defending Champions & Host Ambitions

The Three Lionesses are in the toughest group, D, featuring France, Netherlands, and debutants (as well as arch regional rivals) Wales.

Switzerland, hosting for the first time, aims for a strong display on home soil in Group A alongside Norway, Iceland, and Finland. Their campaign also includes significant legacy objectives, aiming to double female participation to 80,000 by 2027 under the “Here?to?Stay” plan.
