Roger takes up EURO 2008 role

Roger is among four national celebrities who will be Swiss ambassadors for the UEFA EURO 2008.

The Swiss Football Association, which will co-host UEFA EURO 2008 with its counterparts from neighbouring Austria, has enlisted Roger along with three other top sporting personalities to help generate positive feedback and promote the event. Roger is joined in his new role by former Formula 1 Sauber-Petronas team chief Peter Sauber, who was named as Switzerland's Man of the Year for 2005. The other two stars are Bernhard Russi, one of Switzerland's greatest skiers of all time, who will combine his EURO duties with his job as a television commentator; and Stéphane Chapuisat, the 37-year-old former footballer who earned 103 caps for Switzerland and lifted the 1996/97 UEFA Champions League with BV Borussia Dortmund.
