UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 in Switzerland is set to be more than a major sporting event—it’s a blueprint for sustainability, inclusion, and responsible governance. Guided by an ESG strategy launched in October 2024, the tournament targets reduced environmental impact, equitable access, and transparent operations. This includes initiatives like low-carbon transport options for teams and fans, strong links to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and a legacy plan to double grassroots female football participation in Switzerland.

Accessibility and human rights are central to the tournament’s planning. All matches will offer audio-described commentary in local languages, with infrastructure designed for universal access. A dedicated human rights advisory board has been established, and UEFA has signed a joint declaration with host cities and the Swiss government to uphold and protect these values throughout the event.

Beyond the pitch, UEFA aims to leave a lasting impact. The “Here to Stay” initiative will grow the number of women players, coaches, and referees across Switzerland. Family-friendly fan zones, low-cost tickets, free public transport, and child safeguarding measures ensure the tournament is welcoming to all. With nearly 100 initiatives underway, UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 is on track to set a new standard for how global sporting events can drive meaningful change.
