    We really need to avoid Germany, any in group C except Belgium… Group D doesn’t matter. Nightmare, Germany, England, Sweden & another.

  16. 'That's the impact I'm hoping for'

    Former Switzerland international and tournament ambassador Lara Dickenmann: "Studies show a tournament like that can advance the development in women's football almost ten years.

    "That's the impact I'm hoping for, we all hope for in Switzerland, that the tournament acts as a multiplier on any level that is relevant to women's football."

  17. Ian Wright tells us the official match ball is called Konektis.

    According to my notes it features adidas Connected Ball Technology, enabling faster and more accurate officiating by contributing to the video assistant refereeing (VAR) decision-making process.

  18. The official mascot Maddli the St Bernard puppy, named after Madeleine Boll, the first ever female licensed footballer in Switzerland, has just walked on to the stage.

    Maddli is holding the official match ball.

    I think a group with Norway, Wales, Belgium and England would be my favourite as a diehard Lionesses fan

  20. 'I'm very happy for Wales'

    Wales coach Rhian Wilkinson celebrates with Jessica FishlockGetty Images

    More from Jill Scott, speaking to the BBC about Wales: "It's so special. I was so happy for them when they qualified. I've just seen Jess Fishlock before and what a special player she is. I had the privilege of playing against her for years and I always thought that she deserved to be on the international stage in these tournaments. I'm very happy for them.

    I'm sure you've got a lot of excited Wales fans to see who they're going to draw.

    On the chance of England drawing Wales: "It would be great but wouldn't that be even better in a knockout game so I'd love to see them face each other. That would be great for the fan but maybe out of the group stages."
