Uefa ‘not worried’ as Women’s Euro 2025 and Club World Cup clash

Uefa is aiming to sell out all matches at Euro 2025 and make it the most watched women’s European football tournament.

It has a target for a total attendance of more than 700,000. A portion of tickets went on sale on 1 October and over 200,000 have been sold.

St Jakob Park in Basel will host the final with a capacity of 34,050.

Uefa’s events chief executive Martin Kallen said the tournament is getting “bigger and bigger” and this may be the last chance for such a small nation to host the Women’s Euros.

“It’s already at the edge for Switzerland to be able to do this Euros. I think they waited for the right moment to ask for it,” said Kallen.

“They got it because in the future I think the stadiums and infrastructure in Switzerland is too small.”

The draw takes place on Monday, 16 December, when defending champions England and tournament debutants Wales will find out their group-stage opponents.

Among Uefa’s key objectives is an aim to meet “men’s Euros standards” in terms of team facilities, football technology and analysis.

Video assistant referee, goalline technology and semi-automated offsides will all be included.

Artificial pitches in Bern and Thun will be overlaid with natural grass in June for the duration of the tournament in order to ensure conditions are the same across all venues. These pitches will be retained until September.
