BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) -With the temperature set to reach fever pitch in Switzerland when the hosts take on Norway in their opening game at the Women's Euros on Wednesday, fans spent the afternoon cooling off in the Rhine river as the mercury soared again in Basel.

Ada Hegerberg scores and misses a penalty as Norway come from behind to beat hosts Switzerland on the first evening of Euro 2025 at a sold-out St Jakob-Park.

Switzerland coach Pia Sundhage says the country has a “fantastic future” in women’s soccer thanks to several young players hoping to make their mark at the European Championship.
