The Women's European Championship kicks off on July 2. Teams are wrapping up their preparations, but not everyone is having a smooth run-up.
Details: The tournament will take place in Switzerland, and the host nation has been playing a series of friendlies. One of them was against the Lucerne U15 boys' team. To the astonishment of many, the senior Swiss women's squad — featuring star player Alisha Lehmann — was handed a stunning 1-7 defeat on the pitch.
The Swiss federation tried to keep the outcome under wraps, but the result still leaked online thanks to a Lucerne player who posted footage of the match on social media. Most likely, we wouldn't have heard anything officially, as it was an unofficial game played in a three-period, 30-minutes-each format.
Reminder: At the tournament, Switzerland will compete in Group A alongside Norway, Iceland, and Finland.
