On May 6, 2025, the Edit-a-thon will take place under the motto «For more visibility on Wikipedia.» This year, the thematic focus is on «Women in Sports,» in keeping with the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 in Zurich and seven other venues in Switzerland. The event is aimed at anyone who enjoys writing and is interested in gender equality. No prior knowledge is required.

The city of Zurich is paying close attention to sustainability in all its activities related to the tournament.

Thanks to a special exemption granted by the City of Zurich, garden restaurants and boulevard cafés in the city may show the tournament matches live on TV sets in their outdoor areas.
