An exceptional tournament, a modernized stadium, an effervescence city
With nearly 100,000 spectators and spectators expected, Geneva is positioned as a pillar of this UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. As part of this event, the Geneva Stadium Foundation launched a large program of renovations, funded by the canton. A budget of 4.1 million francs will be invested for modernize infrastructurenot only in order to respond to the high competition standards but also to create an environment welcoming for the public.
The city of Geneva will unlock for its part for the 2.1 million event (including the subsidy to the WEURO Geneva association 2025). This amount will participate in the financing of the event and organize the Sport village on the Quai Gustave Ador. The city will organize sports demonstrations, initiations and meetings with athletes to promote female sport and arouse vocations with young generations by giving visibility to champions.
Installed on the Quai Général-Guisan near the village of Sport, a Fan zone will also welcome the population who will benefit from free access, from July 2 to 27, 2025, of a live broadcast of matches or entertainment, as well as a restoration space. The place will be a showcase for women’s sport and its representatives.
WEURO, change of change
With five games, including a semi-final and a national team match, the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 in Geneva will not be just a sporting event. It’s a Sustainable change engine for women and for sport.
At present, women are largely underrepresented in the governance of sports circles. The AGS estimates that club committees are only made up of 25 to 30% of women on average. Through the countryside #Changeonsladonne From the Geneva Sports Association (AGS), Geneva redefines the role of women in sport, by opening up more room in governance bodies in order to reach the 40% threshold by 2026.
To support this ambition, it will set up a proximity coachingdesigned to support and accelerate this transition to a more female future. The campaign is part of A long -term vision for a more equitable representation of women in sport.
Concrete actions for youth, women and the Geneva population
The partnership between the WEURO Geneva 2025 association, which coordinates the event, and the AGS embodies a common vision: to make this large tournament a catalyst in sustainable impact which goes beyond the field, to redefine the standards of female sport, both sporting and societal.
However, youth will not be outdone. In collaboration with the Department of Public Instruction, Training and Youth, the “1ecole-1championne” program will associate eleven players from the FC Chênois female with eleven primary education schools. Students will thus have the opportunity to chat with a professional footballer, follow her sports season and discover the club. It will also be an opportunity to make students aware of the life of high -level female sport, especially for a footballer in Switzerland, and to discover the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025.
Other educational and sports initiatives, both in the school and extracurricular framework, will be implemented throughout the year in order to inspire Geneva youth and to promote diversity in sport and physical activity.
In this inheritance dynamic, ACG has the WEURO Geneva 2025 association on its itinerant bus and its pavilion #Genevaeaucoeurujejeuready to crisscross the Geneva municipalities. Their mission: to promote the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 by bringing the Geneva population closer to this event and by boosting female sport locally.
The world of culture is associated with the event, through a call for projects of the canton intended to support the Deployment of cultural and artistic proposals In places not dedicated to culture and accessible to everyone, which will echo the theme of women’s football or, more generally, female sport.
