UEFA reports historic impact of Women’s Euro 2025 across Europe
UEFA released an impact report a year after the Women’s Euro 2025, highlighting that the tournament broke all previous records for stadium attendance, television viewership and digital engagement. The report also notes unprecedented sponsorship deals and a marked increase in participation at both grassroots and professional levels throughout Europe.
According to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, the legacy of the tournament is “a living, tangible influence on every girl joining a team, every coach opening new doors, every referee on the field and every fan returning to the games.” Women’s Euro 2025 also drove forward UEFA’s six‑year “Unstoppable” strategy, backed by a €1 billion commitment to sustain and grow women’s football, while delivering social and environmental benefits. Host nation Switzerland was highlighted as a milestone for combining sporting success with broader societal impact.
