edition changed the perception of the sport in the country and had big economic benefits for the host cities. Regarding the latter, co-president of the parliamentary group “Euro 25” Corina Gredig, said that the tournament will become a “junk tournament” with the lack of money. While municipal councillor of host city

, Katharina Ali-Oesch, said they the city might have to withdraw as a host venue due to the cuts in funding. The

also said that this money will only be partially sufficient for their goals for the tournament and hoped the situation will be taken up again in the further political discussion. On 16 February 2024, the Committee of the Council of States for Science, Education and Culture, applied for a federal contribution of 15 million Francs for the competition. The Council of States was able to get a cross-party commission motion calling for the federal government to support the Women's Euro 2025 in Switzerland with 15 million Francs to be unanimously approved by the lower house. Then, on 6 March 2024, the eight host cities sent a letter to the federal government asking them to reconsider their decision, stating that they have spent millions on this tournament and hoped for improvements. On 19 April 2024, mayor of

, Beat Züsli, stated that in order to deliver to tournament as sustainable as possible, the 15 million Francs are vital.

On 8 May 2024, the finance commission also threw their support for a potential increase in financial support. The official decision on the amount of money for the tournament will be confirmed during a Swiss parliament session in June 2024. On 30 May 2024, the Council of States and the National Council officially reversed the decision to allocate 4 million and increased the distributed money to 15 million.
