Here Come the Girls! Is Switzerland Ready for the Euros?

Here Come the Girls – Is Switzerland Ready?

⚽ What does women’s football have to do with gender equality,  leadership and career development for women in Switzerland? More than you might initially think!

⚽The Women’s Euros 2025 is coming to Switzerland, shining a spotlight on women’s sports like never before. But will this be the turning point for gender equality in football? Or will the same old barriers sideline girls?

⚽Sports teach teamwork, confidence, and resilience—the very qualities we need to see more women in leadership roles, boardrooms, and decision-making positions. But too many young women drop out of sport before they can fully benefit from its lifelong advantages.
 

Join us for this thought-provoking conversation about the power of sport to shape future leaders, the challenges girls still face, and what we can do to create real opportunities for the next generation.

⚽???? ⚽Are we ready to change the game? Let’s talk. ⚽???? ⚽
