We play. We shine. At the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025

July 3, 2025

As the Women’s EURO 2025 lights up Switzerland, history’s in the making — and PUMA’s been part of the story from day one. Long before packed stadiums and prime-time buzz, we believed in the power of women’s football. Our commitment started with a boot fit for female ballers – and now we’re all in, backing the game with full force this summer.

Here’s how we’re empowering our athletes to unleash their best – on and off the pitch!

We’ve Been Backing Women’s Football Since Day One

Back in 1971, when women’s football still wasn’t officially recognized by most federations, PUMA released the Pelerina – our first women-specific football boot. It featured padded ankles, multi-studded sole, and a fit designed just for her. Forget the “shrink it and pink it” approach.

Fast forward to 2022, we did it again: we became the first brand to release all three of our elite silos – KING, FUTURE, and ULTRA – in women-specific fits. Not just versions of men’s boots, but re-engineered from the studs up to reflect the shape, structure, and biomechanics of the female foot.

 

Rooted in Legacy, Engineered for the Future

But our commitment to empower the female ballers isn’t marketing – it’s our solution to a problem 82% of female elite players in Europe reported: boots that just don’t fit. Backed by years of lab testing, athlete feedback, and female-led research, we built a boot that fits her. Not by shrinking the men’s version, but by redesigning it.

 

“We’ve continued to develop our Women’s Fit over the last years through testing with consumers, pro athletes, and top universities to improve performance and reduce injury risk.”

The Result: the FUTURE Women’s Fit 2.0 – our most advanced women’s football boot to date. Comfort that lasts, support that protects, and a fit that unleashes players to bring their absolute best to the pitch. Because at PUMA, we don’t do barriers. We invite everyone to the game.

Designed by science, built by feedback, and worn by pros.
The upgrades? A snugger forefoot, lower instep, and boosted arch support. GripControl Pro texture for next-level ball control. And a FLEXGILITY outsole that lets players move like they mean it. This is tech that respects her anatomy and enhances performance.

 

 

The Stars Align: Meet Our Players

A boot’s only as good as the player wearing it. Luckily, we’ve got a dream team.
At EURO 2025, six of our top athletes will take center stage to represent PUMA:

  • Alex Greenwood (England) – Calm, composed, lethal from a dead ball.
  • Fridolina Rolfö (Sweden) – Quick, creative, and clutch under pressure.
  • Laia Aleixandri (Spain) – Defender with vision and grit.
  • Jess Park (England) – Blistering speed and attacking flair.
  • Sandy Baltimore (France) – One word: electric.
  • Ingrid Engen (Norway) – Midfield engine with smarts and stamina.

 

They don’t just represent the brand. They define the future of the game – and we’re proud to back them with gear that’s designed to unleash their best selves on the biggest stage.

 

But it doesn’t stop there. 100+ players – from keepers to captains – will lace up in PUMA boots throughout the tournament. So, we’re sure we’ll see plenty of big plays in PUMA boots.

 

 

Our presence at EURO 2025 goes beyond boots and players. We’re also the official kit partner for three national federations:

  • 🇵🇹 Portugal
  • 🇮🇸 Iceland
  • 🇨🇭 Switzerland (the host nation!)

 

Watch out to spot PUMA on the pitch, in the tunnel, and across the screens. We’re making the big cat impossible to miss.

When the product fits, the player shines. And when she shines, she inspires a whole new generation to dream bigger, play harder, and believe that the future of football is female.

 

The UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 isn’t just a tournament. It’s a statement. A celebration of progress. And a showcase of our purpose – to empower every athlete to unleash their best.

Let’s Go ⚽️!!
