The Interruption
As Switzerland found themselves in the same group as Scotland, Hungary, and hosts Germany, the draw ceremony experienced an unexpected twist.

Draw host Giorgio Marchetti, the deputy general secretary of UEFA, attempted to regain control, acknowledging the disruption, “There is some noise here that… has now stopped. No noise anymore.” However, the prankster behind the explicit noises continued sporadic interruptions throughout the draw, creating a hilarious yet awkward atmosphere.
Social Media Frenzy:
Viewers quickly took to social media to express their reactions. Some were amused, with one fan on Twitter wondering, “Did I just hear that random, let’s say ‘an excited woman’ on the BBC Euro draw coverage? Or am I going mad?” Another viewer praised the mysterious prankster, stating, “Whoever is playing those sex noises at the Euro 2024 live draw on BBC is a legend.”
