Spain have advanced to the semi-final of the Women's Euros for the first time since 1997 after beating hosts Switzerland 2-0 in Bern. The 2023 World Cup winners took more than an hour to break through the home team's determined defence, with Mariona Caldentey missing a penalty in the ninth minute.

Switzerland's women's football team, under coach Pia Sundhage, made history by reaching the quarter-finals of the Women's European Championship for the first time. Although they lost 2-0 to Spain, the team's spirited performance and growing fan interest in women's football in Switzerland were widely celebrated as significant achievements.
