BBC announce Euro 2025 pundits including Alex Scott, Gabby Logan and Lionesses’ record goalscorer

ALEX SCOTT is fronting an all-star BBC punditry team for Euro 2025.

The Lionesses are preparing to defend the title they memorably won on home soil in 2022.

Sarina Wiegman’s side begin their campaign against France in Group D on July 5.

And a host of past stars are joining the Beeb for the tournament in Switzerland.

Former right-back Scott won 140 caps for the Lionesses between 2004 and 2017.

She will lead the BBC’s coverage alongside Gabby Logan and Jeanette Kwakye.

England’s all-time record goal scorer Ellen White is among the punditry team.

White won 113 caps for the Lionesses, scoring 52 goals.

She will be joined by former players Jill Scott, Steph Houghton and Fara Williams,

Scott, 38, was part of the Lionesses team that won the Euros against Germany at Wembley three years ago.

She said: “I’m absolutely buzzing to be part of the BBC team for the Euros.

“Tournaments like this are what football’s all about. The passion, the drama, the unforgettable moments.

“I can’t wait to get stuck in, share some insight and hopefully bring a bit of fun along the way too.”

Euro 2025 gets underway on July 2, with Iceland taking on Finland before hosts Switzerland face Norway.

There are 16 nations in total taking part in the tournament.

England have been drawn in Group D alongside France, Holland and Wales.

The Welsh are making their debut in the competition, with ex-striker Helen Ward part of the BBC commentary team.

Rachel Brown-Finnis, Gilly Flaherty and Izzy Christiansen will also join as co-commentators.

Weigman has named her 23-strong squad for the tournament next month.

The squad includes 13 players who made history in lifting the trophy in 2022.

Weigman said: “This group is a very well-balanced mix of players with multiple tournaments on their CVs and also those that will make their tournament debuts.

“I am excited to see what we are capable of this summer.

“At the same time, I do feel for those that have just missed out. I can only name 23 but there are more players who have been so important to us on our journey to Switzerland.

“We would not be here without them.

“As we look forward, we still have a month to go until we play the first game.

“After some important rest, we will all be working really hard to make sure we are ready to go on July 5.”
