A day for the history books

With 14,000 fans taking part in the Fan Walk from the Fan Zone to Wankdorf Stadium – including around 12,000 supporters of the Swiss team and many families with children – Bern was buzzing with excitement yesterday. The Fan Zone on Bundesplatz and the Corner on Waisenhausplatz were lively from early afternoon and offered the perfect build-up to this historic day.

Thanks to a concert by Samora and performances by DJs from Iceland and Switzerland, the atmosphere was already joyful and high-spirited long before kickoff. Switzerland’s 2–0 victory over Iceland in a sold-out stadium was the icing on the cake of a perfect day. Together, the event impressively showcased the power and potential of women’s football.
