We're seeing a lovely video of all the best tourist sites in the host cities.

Switzerland men's international Xherdan Shaqiri is among those in attendance as the show gets started in Lausanne.

He stopped to speak to media in the red carpet earlier and posed for a few photos by the giant Euro 2025 match ball.

Jill Scott speaking to the BBC: "It's such a special tournament and to win it and have those memories. I'll see some of the girls now and you just have that connection for life. The team were fantastic throughout as the tournament was going on we knew we were about to do something special. The home crowd as well which definitely got us over the over the line in that final. Whenever I speak about the final it just makes us smile from ear to ear.

"To win a tournament, you have to play the toughest teams. Maybe in the group stages, teams like Germany and Spain, teams that are very strong you'd want to meet later on.

"I'm confident in this Lionesses team, there's a lot of young players coming through that have had experience in recent games and I think that'll do them t he world of good.

"I'm confident that England can get this trophy back."

OK, the performance is over and the main presenters have come out to the stage.

Ian Wright is one of them!

The singer wasn't shaken. They said "how you doing?" a second time and managed to get a polite cheer.

Oh no, there's a musical performance.

A singer has just walked out and asked "how you doing everybody?".

Nobody in the room responded.

It begins! Uefa are showing us a promo video.

Alessia Russo's backheel has made the cut. Lovely.

By the way, you can have your say by getting in touch using the usual channels above.

Can't wait to hear from you!

Two minutes until the official start. Will it be option one or two?

The stage is set for the draw as delegates have started taking their seats.

Wales' record goalscorer and cap holder Jess Fishlock is here and will take part in the draw ceremony - but, crucially, not the draw itself!

Fishlock and assistant boss Jon Grey are among the Welsh delegation in Lausanne this evening, though head coach Rhian Wilkinson is not present due to a long-standing commitment which could not be rearranged.

England v Wales in the groups, anyone?

This is a special occasion for Wales because it is unprecedented.

Never before have Wales' women qualified for a major tournament, but Rhian Wilkinson's players made history earlier this month by overcoming the Republic of Ireland in the qualification play-offs.

A stern challenge awaits for Wales regardless of who they are drawn with, as Wilkinson's team are the lowest-ranked in the tournament.

But former Canada international Wilkinson insists Wales be unfazed regardless.

"I'm in a perfect situation, which is that I don't care and I think that is the gift of it, being our first opportunity we get to walk into this experience fearless," Wilkinson told BBC Sport Wales.

"There are not many people that expect much from us, the people that expect the most are ourselves.

"And so would we like to face the best? Why wouldn't we?"

The 16 teams will be split into four groups of four for the final tournament.

The teams are seeded according to the overall rankings from the European qualifying league stage.

Hosts (placed in position one in Group A): Switzerland

Pot one: Spain, Germany, France

Pot two: Italy, Iceland, Denmark, England

Pot three: Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium

Pot four: Finland, Poland, Portugal, Wales

Hosts Switzerland will be placed in position A1, with the three seeded teams from pot one being drawn into positions one in groups B to D.

The remaining 12 teams will be drawn, with each group containing one team each from pots two to four.

The group positions determine the order of matches in the group stage.

Uefa have told us the draw will start at 17:00 GMT.

It's going to go one of two ways. Either with strict, engineered efficiency and we'll all be done by five-past.

Or with some Euro-dance flair and hours of pre-draw performances.

Both have their benefits.

The theatre is set for tonight's draw and there's a red carpet where current players, managers and ex-internationals will walk down.

Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman is here but Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson cannot make it so her assistant Jon Grey is attending.

Wales record goalscorer Jess Fishlock and former England midfielder Jill Scott, who won Euro 2022, are among Uefa's guests.

Kay Cossington, women's technical director, and former Lioness Anita Asante, are here on behalf of the Football Association.

Earlier today, the Uefa Executive Committee in Switzerland approved a pot of 41 million Euros in prize money for the tournament - a 156% increase on the figure from 2022.

Participating national associations will also distribute between 30% and 40% to their players for the first time.

Debutants Wales made history by beating the Republic of Ireland 3-2 on aggregate in their play-off to reach their first major women's tournament.

European champions England had already booked their place by finishing runners-up in their qualification group.

Switzerland qualified automatically as hosts for the 16-team tournament, which will take place in eight venues between 2-27 July.

They are joined by 2023 World Cup winners Spain, France and eight-time winners Germany, who are all top seeds and have been placed in pot one.

England are in pot two, while 2017 European champions the Netherlands are in pot three.

• Qualified (world rankings in italics): Spain (2), Germany (3), England (4), Sweden (5), Netherlands (10), France (11), Denmark (12), Italy (13), Iceland (14), Norway (16), Belgium (19), Portugal (22), Switzerland (23), Finland (26), Poland (28), Wales (30).

The 8-0 win over Norway.

Beating Spain after extra-time.

And that final against Germany.

Euro 2022 still feels like yesterday...

But things must move on and today it's the draw for the next one, in Switzerland, summer 2025.

England will be there, as are Wales, more on them later.
