Spain and England face off in a historic battle for the continental crown at the legendary St. Jakob-Park in Basel. Home to FC Basel, the stadium hosts the grand finale of UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 this Sunday, in what promises to be an unforgettable night of football.

A Stadium Rich in European History

With a capacity of 38,000, St. Jakob-Park is the largest stadium in Switzerland and once again takes center stage for a major international event. Inaugurated in 2001, it was designed by the renowned Swiss architectural firm Herzog & De Meuron, also responsible for the Allianz Arena in Munich and Beijing’s National Stadium, which hosted the 2008 Olympic Games.

This final adds to a long list of iconic matches hosted at the venue, including the 2002 U21 European Championship final, where Czech Republic defeated France on penalties, and the 2016 Europa League final, where Sevilla claimed their fifth continental title with a 3-1 win over Liverpool. The stadium also played a role in Euro 2008, where Spain ultimately lifted the trophy, hosting group-stage matches and the memorable quarterfinal where Russia stunned Netherlands, led by the brilliance of Andrey Arshavin.

Basel’s Deep Football Heritage

Before the current venue, an older St. Jakob Stadium stood on the same grounds. Built for the 1954 World Cup, it was demolished in 1998 but still holds a remarkable record: the most goals ever scored in a single World Cup venue—44 in just six matches, an astonishing average of over seven goals per game. It witnessed goal-fests like Uruguay's 7-0 thrashing of Scotland, and the famous 8-3 victory by Hungary, featuring legends Ferenc Puskás, Sándor Kocsis, and Zoltán Czibor, over Germany—a defeat the Germans would avenge in the final with a 3-2 comeback, forever remembered as the “Miracle of Bern.”

The stadium also hosted four finals of the now-defunct European Cup Winners’ Cup, including the one where Slovan Bratislava beat Barcelona in 1969, and the one a decade later when Barça triumphed over Fortuna Düsseldorf.

While this is the first appearance for the Spain Women’s National Team in Basel, the men's team has played there twice—both ending in 1-1 draws against Switzerland: a friendly in 1988 with a goal by Andrinúa, and a UEFA Nations League match in 2020-2021, with the equalizer scored by Gerard Moreno.

Next to the stadium stands the St. Jakobshalle, which recently hosted the latest Eurovision Song Contest, welcoming tens of thousands of fans who couldn’t get tickets to the main event—proof of the cultural and sporting importance of Basel’s iconic venue.
