Eurovision 2025: Fribourg will check hosting bid!
Fribourg could join the list of candidate cities to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.
The preliminary examination has just started as confirmed by the CEO of HC Fribourg-Gottéronw, a renowned ice hockey club in Fribourg, John Gobbi. At the moment there is no formal host bid. However, the discussions are going on and the city is debating whether or not Fribourg may host Eurovision in 2025.
If Fribourg decides to bid, the most likely scenario is that they offer the BCF Arena, home of the HC Fribourg-Gottéron team to host the event which could hold up to 9,000 spectators which is below the requirements to host the event. However, one of the problems to be selected is the size of the arena and potential clashes with ice hockey matches.
We are also analysing if the ice rink could meet the size requirements. It is certainly big but there are bigger arenas in Switzerland.
Furthermore, the local government of Fribourg has confirmed its intent to examine whether they are able to place a bid. Before making that move they will assess if they can meet the accommodation and arena requirements.
Four Swizz cities have already confirmed their intent to become the host city of Eurovision 2025. They are:
- Basel
- Geneva
- St. Gallen
- Zurich
