Difficult to keep a secret, even in Switzerland, this country where silence is usually a well -kept tradition. Especially when you are fifteen or less and you have to resist the temptation of social networks. The misadventure arrived at the Helvetian selection which is preparing to compete, as host countries, the Women’s Euro (July 2-27).
Before his final friendly meeting against the Czech Republic this Thursday, the Swiss was supposed to refine their automatisms against the male U15 of FC Lucerne. The match, organized in camera in Nottwil, a small town about thirty kilometers from Zurich, was to remain strictly confidential.
One of the participating adolescents, however, sold the wick. According to the daily Blick, the boy broadcast images on his social networks. The “story” evokes this meeting which should not be known, then its score, a scathing success 7-1 after three periods of thirty minutes.
Quarter objective!
The Swiss Federation, which wanted not to move this opposition in order to avoid comments and criticisms on the level of women’s football, as had the case in France when the U16 of Olympique Lyonnais had beaten (3-2) in 2021 the seven-time European champions of the time.
A few days before the start of its euro, this slap received by the Nati is talking to Switzerland, while the selection, 23rd in the FIFA ranking, had nevertheless obtained good results in recent months, like the convincing success against the Blue (2-1 in October 2024).
Switzerland, which will face Norway, Iceland and Finland in the group A Norway, will try to qualify for the quarterfinals for the first time in its history in a European championship. France will play in group D facing England, Wales and the Netherlands.
