Soccer fans cooled off by Basel&#x27;s riverside on Wednesday (July 2) as temperatures soared on the day of Switzerland&#x27;s opening game against Norway at Women&#x27;s Euro 2025.Wearing hats, drinking water and using famous &#x27;Wickelfisch&#x27; bags for buoyancy in the River Rhine, supporters did everything they could to combat the heat.On Tuesday (July 1), UEFA said that the normally strict security rules would be relaxed to allow fans attending matches on the first two days (July 2 and 3) of the tournament to bring a half-litre plastic or aluminium water bottle into the stadium, although no glass bottles are allowed.&quot;We&#x27;ve just been to buy a little 50 millilitre bottle so that we can fill up and that kind of thing. So yeah. No, I think it&#x27;s a very good idea. I think it would be silly not to,&quot; said England fan Charlotte Dover.The usual conditions attached to Euro 2025 tickets state that no &quot;bottles, jugs or cans of any kind, as well as other objects made from plastic, glass or any other fragile materials&quot; may be brought into any of the venues, with exceptions made for medical containers.According to meteorological service MeteoSwiss, the temperature in Basel is expected to reach 35 degrees ahead of Switzerland&#x27;s opening game against Norway on Wednesday evening, with similar temperatures expected throughout the country.<div>(Production: Elena Rodriguez, Cecile Mantovani)</div>
