Uefa 'not worried' at Euro 2025 clash with Club World Cup

England won Euro 2022 on home soil beating Germany in the final at Wembley

Uefa is "not worried" that some Women's Euro 2025 matches will clash with the Fifa men's Club World Cup, says managing director Nadine Kessler.

Fifa's new expanded men's tournament takes place in the United States from 15 June to 13 July and involves 32 teams, including Chelsea and Manchester City.

Switzerland is hosting Euro 2025 from 2-27 July, meaning five or six matches are likely to be played at the same time as some in the men's competition.

"Overall, I'm not really worried. We're talking about two tournaments, in two different countries, with two different timezones," said Kessler.

"There are also broadcasting agreements in place that differs from ours. Again, I'm not worried.

"As much as we always try to get full exclusivity for our women's football tournaments, in the times we live in, with our men's football tournaments having so many in a year, to get that privilege of full exclusivity is not easy any more.

"We must also stick to our plan because I think it's important we get a professional, respected international calendar in place for women's football. We have to co-exist."

In May, Fifa rejected claims that Fifpro and the World Leagues Association were not consulted over its plans for the Club World Cup.

BBC Sport asked Fifa to justify the scheduling clash with Euro 2025 this month.

A Fifa spokesperson told BBC Sport: "The international match calendar for 2025-2030 was approved by the Fifa Council in 2023, which is made up of members from each of the six confederations, including Uefa.

"While Fifa accepts that both the men's and women's international match calendars are constrained by obvious limitations, this was deemed to be the most balanced solution."

Uefa aims to sell out Euro 2025

Uefa is aiming to sell out all matches at Euro 2025 and make it the most watched women's European football tournament.

It has a target for a total attendance of more than 700,000. A portion of tickets went on sale on 1 October and over 200,000 have been sold.

St Jakob Park in Basel will host the final with a capacity of 34,050.

Uefa's events chief executive Martin Kallen said the tournament is getting "bigger and bigger" and this may be the last chance for such a small nation to host the Women's Euros.

"It's already at the edge for Switzerland to be able to do this Euros. I think they waited for the right moment to ask for it," said Kallen.

"They got it because in the future I think the stadiums and infrastructure in Switzerland is too small."

The draw takes place on Monday, 16 December, when defending champions England and tournament debutants Wales will find out their group-stage opponents.

Among Uefa's key objectives is an aim to meet "men's Euros standards" in terms of team facilities, football technology and analysis.

Video assistant referee, goalline technology and semi-automated offsides will all be included.

Artificial pitches in Bern and Thun will be overlaid with natural grass in June for the duration of the tournament in order to ensure conditions are the same across all venues. These pitches will be retained until September.

Group stage matchday one: 2–5 July

Group stage matchday two: 6–9 July

Group stage matchday three: 10–13 July
