Switzerland coaches had computers stolen in Duesseldorf during Euro 2024, though no sensitive data or information about its next match against Italy has been compromised, the team said on Tuesday.

Video analysts responsible for preparing data and tactical information for team coaches were not impacted as they were at Switzerland’s base camp in Stuttgart, a spokesperson for the team said, confirming three laptops were taken.

Those affected were part of a delegation of junior national team coaches who were travelling across Germany to observe and analyse matches.

“No sensitive data or no information about the upcoming match against Italy has been lost,” the official said in an email.

Switzerland has reached the knockout stages of its sixth successive major tournament and plays Italy in Berlin on Saturday.
