On Friday, July 18, 25,000 Swiss fans marched through the nations capital on the way to Stadium Wankdorf to see their country play in its first-ever Euros quarterfinal against Spain. While that match ended in defeat, and the Women's Euro 2025 host's tournament came to an end in Bern, the scenes and passion epitomized the women's soccer awakening that has taken in place in Switzerland this summer.

So, on this edition of Full Time Euros, it is time to ask what comes next? What will be the legacy of Women's Euro 2025 for Switzerland? And, how has soccer been forever changed in the country?

Also no the show: Four-time European Champion Ari Hingst reflects on Germany's remarkable run to the Women's Euro 2025 semifinals, and how the tournament has changed since she played in it nearly 20 years ago. And, England defender Jess Carter released a statement speaking out about being racially abused online during Women's Euro 2025.
