Euro 08 players arrive in Switzerland

With the arrival of the French national football team on Wednesday evening, all the players for Euro 2008 to be based in Switzerland will have checked into their hotels.

The French and the Swedish were the last to come, just three days ahead of the European championships.

Portugal, Turkey, and the Netherlands are already settled into their accommodation in western Switzerland, while the Romanians are staying in the eastern city of St. Gallen.

Access to at least one of each team’s training sessions is open to the public with the exception of Germany which is based in the southern town of Ascona.

The rest of the Euro 2008 teams is based in the tournament’s other host country, Austria.
