Host nation Switzerland put its Women’s European Championship campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Iceland on Sunday, eliminating its opponents in the process and avoiding the possibility of a penalty shootout in its final group match.

For the Swiss, who are trying to get out of the group stage for the first time in the team’s history, a win on Sunday is necessary to keep their hopes alive. Iceland, which made it to the quarterfinals in 2013, has not won a Euro match in 12 years.

Spoiler alert: Euro 2025 went to a “small country”. The tournament starts on Wednesday, with Switzerland taking on Norway at St Jakob-Park on the opening day. For the next 26 days, Switzerland, a country that shares its borders with Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein, is at the epicentre of women’s European football.
