Home edge and staff shake‑up for Frauen‑Nati at Tourbillon

Frauenfussball’s Frauen-Nati will host Israel in the decisive Playoff-Partie of the WM 2027 qualification on Tuesday, 13 October at the Tourbillon in Sitten, after a first leg that is expected to have taken place four Tage earlier in Ungarn.

Playoff legs split between Ungarn and Sitten

Das Hinspiel is slated to have been played four Tage before the Rückspiel, aller Voraussicht nach in Ungarn, where Israel has staged a Grossteil of its Partien in den vergangenen Jahren.

Das Rückspiel gegen Israel steigt am Dienstag, 13 Oktober im Tourbillon, and will serve as the Heimspiel for das Schweizer Frauen-Nationalteam in the first Playoff-Runde.

Legende: Kommt erneut nach Sitten Das Frauen-Nationalteam, reported by Sven Thomann of Freshfocus/Blick, underscores the historic weight of the encounter.

Das Stadion sowie die Anspielzeit würden baldmöglichst kommuniziert werden, informierte der SFV, leaving fans awaiting details from the Schweizer Fußballverband.

Coaching staff reshuffle amid playoff

In the same SFV notice, it was announced that Ignacio Villamia Mora, one of Rafel Navarro’s Assistenztrainer, will leave the Frauen-Nati staff; the 33‑jährige moves to the trainerstab of LaLiga‑Klub Real Sociedad.

The vakante Position is filled per sofort on a Mandatsbasis by Arnau Alcoverro, a 34‑jähriger Spanier who previously held a similar role at the dänischen Klub FC Helsingör.

This contrast between a home‑field advantage at Tourbillon and a sudden coaching turnover highlights the dual challenges the Frauen‑Nati must manage as the decisive Playoff-Partie approaches.
