Julia Stierli (26) set a World Cup record by winning 2-0 against the Philippines. The Nati defender plays 117 passes, which is the highest value since 2011 and the beginning of data collection, according to statistics platform Opta Sports. 105 of Stierli’s 117 passes land on a teammate.

The Swiss fans are a minority among the approximately 13,000 fans in the stadium. Although the stadium is almost half empty and the Nati fans are outnumbered, the players are happy with the support. “13,000 fans is a cool number,” says Meriame Terchoun (27). ‘And we heard cowbells. That’s always good.”

Ramona Bachmann celebrates her goal to make it 1-0 with a special celebration, which she celebrates together with substitute Terchoun. Among other things, Bachmann forms a heart with her hands. The message is for her partner Charlotte Baret. The two married in June in Paris. Terchoun was also present at the wedding.

Before the game against the Philippines, the Swiss are also the big topic in the local press in Dunedin. Nadine Riesen and Fabienne Humm grace the front page of the sports section of the Otago Daily Times newspaper on the day of the game against the Philippines.

At the Men’s World Cup, the ban on the One Love captain’s armband shortly before the start of the tournament caused a political problem. In Australia and New Zealand, women can choose from eight different messages to appear on the captain’s armband. These include “Peace”, “Inclusion”, “Gender Equality” and “Zero Hunger”. The Swiss have decided to make substitutions in every match. “Because they are all very important issues, we don’t want to focus on one thing,” said Ramona Bachmann, Wälti’s deputy.

The German players want to donate one percent of their World Cup premiums to integrative girls’ football projects. According to a statement from the DFB, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team joins the “Common Goal” initiative. Each player raises a minimum of $30,000 (preliminary round) and a maximum of $270,000 (title) from FIFA to participate in the World Cup.
