"SNS Scotland will welcome Switzerland in a women's international friendly to Ballon d'Or nominee Caroline Weir's home city of Dunfermline next month. Melissa Andreatta's side will meet the Swiss at East End Park in the second of two friendlies in October - with the first opponent and venue yet to be announced. The Scots, who finished bottom of Nations League Group A1 earlier this year will play the Euro 2025 hosts on Tuesday, 28 October (19:30 GMT)."
"It's the first time Real Madrid star Weir - who is the first female Scot to be nominated for the Ballon d'Or - will play for her country in her home city. SWNT play most home games at Hampden Park but have also used Tannadice and Easter Road of late. Andreatta's reign as head coach kicked off with a narrow home defeat by Austria, which confirmed relegation back to League B, but her second game was an impressive draw away to the Netherlands."
