France announced on Thursday that it was bidding to host the 2025 European Women’s Championship, formally entering a crowded field to secure the tournament.

France first announced an interest last November but the country’s football federation officially confirmed its candidacy in a statement, saying its bid would “be based in particular on the success of the organisation of the Women's World Cup in France in 2019”.

Poland, Switzerland, Ukraine and a joint Scandinavian bid from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are also in the race to host the 16-team event, with the winning bid expected to be selected at the end of this year.
