Lehmann's name was emblazoned on the sail of a boat on Lake Zurich on Sunday. The Swiss Instagram star's nomination for Juventus Turin has been in doubt in recent weeks, as coach Sundhage had dropped the Bernese national team several times in recent months.
In addition to Lehmann, the European Championship squads of Sandrine Mauron, Nadine Riesen, Alayah Pilgrim, Noelle Maritz, Smilla Vallotto, Viola Calligaris, Nadine Böhi, and, surprisingly, Leila Wandeler were revealed on Sunday. Wandeler, 19, from Freiburg, has yet to play for the senior national team. She is under contract with Olympique Lyon, but has only made one appearance for the first team.
Mauron was "discovered" in Neuchâtel. Riesen followed shortly after, whose jersey was flown by drone to the pitch of her youth club, FC Bühler. Passersby spotted Alayah Pilgrim's spray-painted name on a sidewalk in Lugano, and Noelle Maritz's jersey was spotted at a fountain on Bern's Münsterplatz.
Wandeler's name was written in chalk on Thun's Waisenhausplatz, Vallotto's on a European Championship information board in Geneva. Nadine Böhi's jersey hung on a fountain in St. Gallen, and Calligaris's was on a railing at the football grounds of her youth club, FC Giswil.
This means that only two names from the 23-member Swiss European Championship squad remain unknown before the final day of the scavenger hunt. These, too, will be revealed by Monday afternoon.
