England to meet Switzerland before Euro 2022

England’s warm-up schedule for Euro 2022 will end on June 30 with a match against Switzerland in Zurich.

Sarina Wiegman’s team will face the Swiss at the Letzigrund stadium as part of a five-day training camp in Switzerland.

Before the summer event, the Lionesses will also play Belgium and the Netherlands.

Euro 2022 kicks off the following week, on 6 July, with the opening ceremony at a sold-out Old Trafford.

“I am delighted to be completing our Euro preparations with another huge game, this time away in Switzerland,” Wiegman remarked.

“It will be beneficial to spend some time overseas as we ramp up our training efforts. The change of scenery will come at an ideal time for the group, helping us focus our minds on the upcoming challenges.”

England play Belgium at Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Molineux on June 16 and the Netherlands at Leeds’ Elland Road on June 24 before facing Switzerland.

The last time England played Switzerland, who are ranked 19th in the world, they won 4-0.

“We will then return to England refreshed and ready to play for the first Euro match, and I am thrilled to see how enthusiastic everyone is for the summer,” Wiegman added.

The Lionesses will begin their European Championship campaign against Austria in Manchester, then face Norway in Brighton and Northern Ireland in Southampton.
