It's been a long time since the women's national team last played in Ticino. It was 20 years ago in February, when Switzerland drew 1-1 with Denmark in a test match.

The dates of the first two qualifying matches in front of a home crowd were already known. On Tuesday, March 3, coach Rafel Navarro's team will face Northern Ireland in Lausanne. On Tuesday, April 14, the Swiss women will play Turkey in Zurich. In between, they will host Malta on Saturday, March 7.
