The Anticipation Builds as UEFA Women's EURO 2025 Approaches
The countdown has begun! With only two weeks remaining until the kickoff of the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 tournament, excitement is palpable among fans and players alike. The event, commencing on July 2, will showcase top-tier women's football, hosted in beautiful Switzerland. Hublot, a renowned watch manufacturer and the tournament’s official timekeeper, is set to bring its passion and dedication to the event.
As the first luxury Swiss watch in the realm of football, Hublot has a legacy that spans decades, and this year, it reaffirms its commitment to women's sports. The tournament will feature 16 teams competing across eight venues, where every minute will be meticulously timed by Hublot. This marks another milestone in the brand's relationship with football, which has grown significantly since its first partnership with the Swiss national team in 2006.
Hublot aims to enhance the spectator experience not only through precise timekeeping but also with noticeable branding throughout the venues. Football enthusiasts can look forward to seeing the iconic Hublot logo prominently displayed around the pitch and on various digital screens during matches. Additionally, the company will showcase its innovative pitch-side Big Bang Fourth Official’s Board, which will be used to manage substitutions and added time—essential aspects that ensure a smooth flow of the game.
In a bid to contribute to the officiating aspect of the tournament, match-day referees will be adorned with Hublot’s Big Bang e Gen3 connected watch, designed specifically for officials. This state-of-the-art timepiece comes packed with features for tracking penalties and managing game time, further solidifying Hublot’s position as a pioneer in the fusion of luxury and sports.
But Hublot’s involvement doesn’t stop at timekeeping; it also takes pride in collaborating with prominent figures in the football world. This year, they welcome two elite women’s football players to their roster of brand ambassadors: Ada Hegerberg and Aitana Bonmatí. Both players embody excellence in the sport, with Hegerberg being the first-ever Ballon d'Or Féminin winner and Bonmatí achieving immense success with Spain during her career.
Throughout the tournament, these celebrated athletes will showcase Hublot’s vibrant Big Bang One Click Joyful collection. Hegerberg will wear the One Click Joyful Steel Pink, adorned with exquisite pink sapphires, while Bonmatí will shine in the One Click Joyful Steel Orange, featuring eye-catching orange sapphires. Their participation is not just a branding effort; it symbolizes the brand's commitment to uplifting women's football and celebrating their achievements on and off the pitch.
Hublot’s history in football is remarkable, having served as the official timekeeper for numerous prestigious events, including multiple FIFA World Cups and UEFA competitions. The brand has established a significant presence in men's football, and now, as it steps into the spotlight of women's football, it aims to inspire a new generation of players and fans.
The opening match promises to be thrilling, featuring the host nation Switzerland against multiple-time champions Norway in Basel. All tournament matches will be played under the watchful gaze of Hublot, ensuring that time is never lost on the pitch.
Julien Tornare, the CEO of Hublot, expresses his enthusiasm about the event: "As the first luxury Swiss watch in football, we are excited and proud to be the official timekeeper of UEFA Women's EURO 2025. Hosting this tournament in our homeland, alongside incredible players like Ada and Aitana, is truly special. We look forward to making this not just a competition but a celebration of football that leaves a lasting impact."
In conclusion, as the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 draws near, Hublot's role as the official timekeeper highlights its dedication to advancing women's sports while also promising an unforgettable experience for players and spectators alike.
