LISBON, Portugal (AP) - Switzerland was chosen Tuesday to host soccer's Women's European Championship in 2025.

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said the executive committee chose the Swiss bid over three other candidates after the maximum three rounds of voting. The other candidates were France, Poland and the expected favorite, a four-nation Nordic project with Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

The 2025 tournament will have 16 teams playing 31 games over about three weeks.

Switzerland is expected to use stadiums in eight different cities, including Basel, Geneva and Zurich.

England won the last European Championship as host in 2022.
