Women's Euro 2025 stadiums have been confirmed. It's the next major tournament on the horizon and will see England's Lionesses defend the title they won on home soil back in 2022.
While we still don't know all the qualifiers and therefore are awaiting the final schedule, the eight stadiums that will be hosting the action have been confirmed, as Switzerland gears up to host their first major tournament since Euro 2008 , which they shared with Austria.
Here, FourFourTwo has all you need to know on the eight host venues that will be used at Euro 2025, plus the odd bit of trivia that you can bore your mates with down the pub...
Women's Euro 2025 stadiums
Basel
1. St. Jakob-Park, Basel
Opened: 2001 Capacity: 38,512 Club: FC Basel Euro 2025 highlight: Final
St. Jakob-Park is the biggest football stadium in Switzerland and therefore the obvious choice to host the final. Home to FC Basel, it played host to six games at Euro 2008 and was the venue for the 2016 Europa League final which saw Liverpool lose to Sevilla.
The new stadium replaced for the former St. Jakob Stadium which played host to six games during the 1954 World Cup, including England's 4-2 quarter-final defeat to defending champions Uruguay.
