Zurich Bars Could Stay Open All Night if Switzerland Beats England on July 6

As Switzerland gears up to face England on July 6th in the Euro 2024, Zurich is preparing for a potential celebration. If Switzerland secures a victory, Zurich’s bars and restaurants could enjoy extended hours, staying open throughout the night to accommodate fans celebrating the historic win.

City Authorities Confirm ‘Free Night’

Karin Rykart, head of Zurich’s security department, confirmed that if Switzerland defeats England, bars and restaurants across the city will be granted a special ‘free night’. This means patrons can continue to enjoy food and drinks until the early hours of July 7th. Similar arrangements will apply in Schlieren and Winterthur in Canton Zurich, should Switzerland win the game. There’s even talk of extending this privilege if Switzerland advances to the semi-finals or finals.

Switzerland’s Euro 2024 Journey

Switzerland’s journey in the European Football Championships 2024 has been impressive. After notable performances against Hungary, Germany, and Scotland, they clinched a decisive 2-0 victory over Italy in Berlin’s Olympiastadion on June 29th. Goals from Remo Freuler and Rubén Vargas secured their spot in the quarter-finals.

The Challenge Ahead: Facing England

Next up for the Swiss national team is a showdown against England. Despite England’s historical dominance, Switzerland’s recent form suggests they could spring a surprise. A win against England would mark Switzerland’s best-ever performance at a major tournament.

Looking Forward: Semi-finals and Final

The winner of the Switzerland-England match will advance to face either the Netherlands or Turkey in the semi-finals on July 10th in Dortmund. The final match, slated for July 14th in Berlin, promises an electrifying clash against football powerhouses Spain, Germany, Portugal, or France.
