All the groups have played their opening games, and we return to Group A, where Norway beat Switzerland 2-1 and Finland beat Iceland 1-0 on the first day. Today, Finland will face Norway and Switzerland will face Iceland. Which players should you watch?

Switzerland - Sydney Schertenleib

At eighteen, she is the youngest player at Euro, but she definitely has a lot to offer. Already at such a young age, she wears the Barcelona jersey, and the media is betting on her as one of the greatest talents of the upcoming generation. She got to Barcelona through a curious story—she didn't have an agent, and scouts approached her via Instagram.

Norway - Ingrid Engen

While we picked a young talent in Switzerland, we're going with a pretty proven player in Norway. But Ingrid Engen's story is way more complicated. After the tournament, she'll be moving from Barcelona to Lyon. Unlike in Barcelona, where she didn't get much playing time, she's a solid part of the national team's starting lineup and can show her full potential.

Finland - Katariina Kosola

Kosola will enter the match as the player who scored the very first goal of the tournament. It was also the only goal Finland needed to secure a three-point victory. Kosola transferred to Malmö this season from Häcken, with whom she also played in the Champions League, where she also managed to score goals.

Iceland - Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir

One of the most experienced players on the Icelandic team, she has represented the national team since 2012. Although the Icelandic team does not have as many star players as Norway, for example, Viggósdóttir is one of them. Her list of achievements includes a nomination for the Ballon d'Or.

Day 4, which brought us incredible matches in the form of Miedema's 100th goal and the defeat of the reigning European champions, has come to an end, and Group A is back on the schedule.

• France defeated reigning holders England 2–1 in Zurich during their Group D opener at Euro 2025, marking the first time a reigning champion has lost their opening match in tournament history. France remain unbeaten 11 matches in a row.
• After England’s early strike by Alessia Russo was ruled out via VAR for offside, France took control: Marie-Antoinette Katoto scored in the 36th minute, swiftly followed by Sandy Baltimore just three minutes later with a fine solo effort.
• Keira Walsh pulled one back with a long-range effort in the 87th minute—England’s first shot on target—but it wasn’t enough, and France held firm to secure victory.
