The European football championships will be held in Switzerland/Austria next year. Does anyone know a bit about how this will be organised? In particular, I wonder if any matches will be played in Geneva and if so, how to get tickets. As a long suffering England fan, I have my doubts whether we'll even qualify for this one, but in case we do it would be great to see Rooney & co in the flesh, even if only for the traditional quarter-final exit on penalties...

Here's a site with the match schedule. It looks like 3 matches will be in Geneva. I have no idea how you'd get tickets or when they go on sale but I'd love to find out! Anyone?

Why not drop a line to the British embassy asking if they are involved (they usually do) and see if there is any mechanism to get tickets with their support as an ex-pat. Jivebaby

Thanks for the tips

Looks like I'll have to go to Basel to see England get knocked out in the quarter final...

If anyone knows how to get tickets I'd love to hear from them

Ticket sales start 1 March 2007 on www.euro2008.com

Thanks for that guys, I definitely hope to catch at least a match, have never driven to Basle from here though, any idea how long it would take?

Basel is about 2 1/2 hours from Geneva by car, and about the same by train. For the Euros, I guess the train would be a better option. There's plenty of time to decide...
