Founded in 1191, capital city of Switzerland and home of the Swiss Parliament since 1848. Its Wankdorf stadium was the venue of the 1954 World Cup final, where the socalled miracle of Berne took place. Berne has 127,000 inhabitants and is on the Aar river, nestling between the Jura and the world-renowned Jungfrau region. The ancient city centre has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983. The Young Boys Berne football club is one of Switzerland’s oldest sports clubs. Berne’s ice hockey club, the SCB, boasts Europe’s highest average attendance of around 16,000 spectators per match. Three UEFA EURO 2008™ group matches will be held in the Stade de Suisse Wankdorf, which has a capacity of 30,000.
