BIEL/BIENNE, Switzerland (April 9, 2026) (Interstat) — Switzerland opened its UEFA Women’s U19 Championship qualifying campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Wales at Tissot Arena on Thursday.

Substitutes sparked the Swiss attack, with Emanuela Pfister scoring twice and Johanna Thüer adding a goal. Pfister broke a scoreless deadlock in the 54th minute, and Thüer struck six minutes later. Chiara Wallin and goalkeeper Soffia Kelly each recorded an assist.

The result outperformed a pre-match projection of a 2-0 Swiss win. Wales, which received yellow cards to Keira O’Keefe, Kelly and Wallin, was held without a goal in its group stage opener. Switzerland begins the qualification cycle with a win, while Wales seeks its first points in the next match.
