Switzerland to Host Women's Euro 2025 Tournament
England hosted and won the 2022 tournament, played a year later than scheduled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last year's Euros broke attendance records with a total of more than half a million spectators.
Uefa selected Switzerland over bids from Poland, France and a joint bid from Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway.
Ukraine also expressed interest in hosting the event before the Russian invasion.
Switzerland failed to make it out of their group in 2022 but will qualify for the 2025 tournament automatically as hosts, with the qualification process for other nations beginning in spring 2024.
"This is a historic day for Switzerland, the SFA and women's football," Swiss Football Association president Dominique Blanc said.
"This major step will shape the development of women's football at all levels."
The tournament will take place over four weeks in June and July 2025 across eight cities: Basel, Bern, Geneva, Zurich, St Gallen, Sion, Lucerne and Thun.
