The German Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, will be in attendance at the Women’s European Championship semi-final match between Germany and Spain in Zurich on Wednesday evening. The announcement was made by the Federal Presidential Office on Tuesday.
The match, held at the Letzigrund Stadium, is scheduled to kick off at 9:00 PM local time. Germany enters the semi-final as the underdog against the reigning World Champion, Spain. However, the team is expected to be highly motivated following their dramatic penalty shootout victory over France in the quarter-finals.
Should the German women’s national team advance to the final, Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has indicated he will attend the concluding match in Basel on Sunday. A government spokesperson confirmed this possibility on Monday, responding to inquiries from the dts news agency.
