Organisation
On April 4, 2023, Switzerland was awarded the contract to host the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 (WEURO25). The city of Bern is one of the eight host cities. As the venue for three group matches and one final round match, Bern has the opportunity to strengthen its image as an attractive and lively sports and leisure destination among the many visitors from Switzerland and abroad.
Berner Ballzauber in summer 2025
During the tournament, the city of Bern wants to be all about WEURO25 and offer locals and visitors an unforgettable and varied program of sporting (live broadcasts of the matches), musical and cultural events. If you can do magic with your foot on the ball, you can make the difference on the pitch! The name Ballzauber stands for the magical moments and the extraordinary skills that make football so fascinating. During WEURO25, the entire Host City Bern will be enchanted by these wonderful moments.
Lighting the fire
In the run-up to the tournament, Host City Bern plans to work together with the organizers of established Bernese events as well as with its own events and activities to ignite the fire for WEURO25 and the euphoria for girls' and women's football among the general public.
