Thousands of England fans are expected in Switzerland to watch the Lionesses attempt to retain their European Championships title, and drinks prices won't be the cheapest
England fans following the Lionesses at Euro 2025 will face hefty drinks prices in Zurich city centre - including in the fan zone Sarina Wiegman's team will play their first two group games in Zurich's Stadion Letzigrund before moving on to St Gallen to face Wales.
A 400ml glass of lager will set supporters back CHF7.50 (£6.91) inside the Zurich fan zone, while a 100ml glass of wine costing £7.38 and prosecco available for £7.84. And non-alcoholic drinks aren't a great deal cheaper.
‌
It's £5.99 for a non-alcoholic beer, which comes in a 330ml serving, while 500mls of Gatorade, iced tea or fizzy drinks will set you back £5.53. You can also get half-litre bottles of water for £4.15, the same price as a coffee.
‌
If fans want to really push the boat out, though, they can get alcoholic aperitifs for £11.05 or long drinks for £14.70. These are vodka, gin or rum-based, with options including a 'Turbo Mate' - blending the herbal drink with an alcohol of your choice.
There are also independent food stands located around the viewing areas and throughout the fan village, with offerings including traditional Swiss fare like raclette as well as kebabs, loaded fries and more. Price-wise, it's not much different outside the fan areas, with bars around the city charging comparable prices.
England are set to be one of the best-supported teams at the Euros, which began on Wednesday with wins for Finland over Iceland and Norway against hosts Switzerland. "Already there are 61,000 Germans, 41,000 English, 16,000 French, 15,000 Dutch and 5,000 American fans,' Nadine Kessler, UEFA director for women's football, said.
"I think we are at 114 nationalities and that's exactly what we want – that's unheard of in women's football – and it shows we have taken the right lessons from England 2022 and are on the way to a record-breaking event."
England's players have been sticking to the iced drinks during the time out in Switzerland, with manager Sarina Wiegman detailing the ways her players have been keeping cool.
‌
'We have these cold vests, we have [an] ice bath, ice drinks they can drink before training session they could also cool down a bit, get your temperature a little bit lower,' Wiegman said on Wednesday.
'We have ice cold towels at the rest moment in the training sessions ,they get the towels if they want to. So we make sure we are hydrated. Take another rest, don't go in and out all the time, for recovery, and do those things to keep your body temperature low.'
