The team training base will be situated at the Sportanlage Güttingersreuti in Weinfelden, where Cymru will have two pitches and a gym/activation area, as well as facilities for daily media activities, similar to the men’s team setup for the UEFA EURO 2016 and UEFA EURO 2020 team bases in Dinard and Baku.
On the announcement, Weinfelden City Councillor for Culture, Sport and Tourism Valentin Hasler said; “We are delighted to welcome Cymru football team to Weinfelden. Our maintenance and greenkeeping team will do their best to make the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 campaign as successful as possible.”
The team will be staying at the Wellneshotel Golfpanorama in Lipperswil, with exclusive use of the 56-room, four-star hotel with pool and spa facilities.
The hotel’s General Manager, Alexandre Spatz, says he’s looking forward to welcoming Cymru to the area. “We are delighted and proud to welcome team Cymru to the Wellnesshotel Golf Panorama as their team base hotel. It is our pleasure to support them on their journey and provide an enjoyable stay. Together, we create the best foundation for success!”
The FAW visited more than 20 options across Switzerland, and Rhian Wilkinson has also visited the final choice.
“Even before qualification had taken place, my incredible staff, the team behind the team, were already working towards finding the right hotel and team base for Cymru in Switzerland. In the The Wellneshotel Golfpanorama in Lipperswil, they have found the perfect location.”
“The hotel and surrounding area gives a great balance between what we will need on and off the pitch to be at our absolute best in our history making first Euro tournament appearance.”
“I look forward to meeting and getting to know the people of Weinfelden and Lipperswil. Hopefully they feel an affinity with us and adopt Cymru as their second favourite team of the tournament.”
Over the next four months the FAW will prepare the facilities to ensure a high-performance environment for the tournament, while the team focuses on competing in the UEFA Women’s Nations League A campaign, with six matches to be played ahead of the summer’s EUROs.
