Women's Euro 2025 stadiums have been confirmed. It's the next major tournament on the horizon and will see England's Lionesses defend the title they won on home soil back in 2022. 

While we still don't know all the qualifiers and therefore are awaiting the final schedule, the eight stadiums that will be hosting the action have been confirmed, as Switzerland gears up to host their first major tournament since Euro 2008, which they shared with Austria. 

Here, FourFourTwo has all you need to know on the eight host venues that will be used at Euro 2025, plus the odd bit of trivia that you can bore your mates with down the pub...
