The Countdown to UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Begins with Hublot
The excitement is building as the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 is set to kick off in just two weeks, on July 2nd. This year, the prestigious football tournament will take place in Switzerland, and Hublot, the renowned luxury watch brand, is proud to continue its partnership as the official timekeeper for this iconic event. Over the years, Hublot has established itself as a significant player in the world of football, and this tournament represents another milestone in its commitment to the sport.
Hublot will not only measure the crucial moments of the matches but will also be visible throughout the tournament. The iconic Hublot Big Bang referee board will be used by the fourth official on the sidelines to signal substitutions and stoppage time, showcasing the brand's integration into the fabric of the game. Fans will also notice the sleek black-and-white Hublot logo displayed on LED screens around the pitch, enhancing the visual experience of the matches.
During the tournament, officials will don the Hublot Big Bang e Gen3 smartwatches, designed exclusively for referees. These advanced timepieces come equipped with features that assist referees in managing the game, including tracking yellow cards and handling stoppage time efficiently. The elite presence of Hublot watches will extend to players, coaches, and sports analysts, all of whom will sport various stylish models from Hublot's collection.
Excitingly, the tournament will see the two stars of women's football who are also Hublot ambassadors: Ada Hegerberg and Aitana Bonmatí. Hegerberg, a Norwegian football superstar and a former Ballon d'Or Féminin winner, has been affiliated with Hublot since 2019. Meanwhile, Aitana Bonmatí, the Spanish midfielder who has garnered numerous accolades and led her national team to victory at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, joins Hublot's ranks as a celebrated athlete this year.
To highlight the personalities of these two remarkable athletes, Hublot will showcase the vibrant Big Bang One Click Joyful collection during the summer campaign. Hegerberg will wear the One Click Joyful Steel Pink model, distinguished by its pink sapphire bezel and pink-accented rubber strap, while Bonmatí will proudly display the One Click Joyful Steel Orange, featuring an eye-catching orange sapphire bezel.
Hublot's long-standing history with football began in 2006 with its partnership with the Swiss national team, becoming the first luxury Swiss watchmaker to venture into the football realm. Since then, Hublot has served as the official timekeeper for several major tournaments, cementing its reputation in the sport. The brand’s commitment extends to promoting women’s football, evident in its role as the official timekeeper for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand. Moreover, Hublot’s collaboration with football stars, including the likes of Kylian Mbappé, underscores its dedication to the sport.
The UEFA Women's EURO 2025 will commence with Switzerland facing Norway, a formidable match that sets the tone for the tournament. With a total of 31 matches scheduled, including the final on July 27th, Hublot is set to keep time for every crucial moment, ensuring that the tournament runs seamlessly.
Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, expressed enthusiasm for this upcoming tournament, noting, "As the first Swiss luxury watch brand in football, Hublot proudly embraces the role of official timekeeper for UEFA Women's EURO 2025.
