England to play Spain in Women’s Euros final

England to play Spain in Women’s Euros final


England will play Spain in the Women’s Euros final on Sunday – a repeat of the 2023 World Cup final.

The Spanish side saw off Germany 1-0, with Aitana Bonmati scoring the only goal of the game in the 23rd minute of extra time.

The midfielder appeared to be lining up a cross before instead taking a shot from a tight angle.

While Spain are the reigning Women’s World Cup champions, this marks the first time they have made it to a Euros final.

They’ll play England – who are defending their Euros title – at Basel’s St Jakob-Park at 6pm local time (5pm UK time) on Sunday.

The two sides famously faced each other in the Women’s World Cup final in Sydney, Australia, in 2023 – where Spain lifted the trophy thanks to a 1-0 win.

England haven’t had the smoothest journey to the Euros 2025 final.

The Lionesses’ campaign got off to a shaky start when they lost 2-1 to France in the first match of the group stages, but hopes were lifted after they sailed past the Netherlands and Wales to reach the quarter-finals.

They then won their first knockout match against Sweden in a dramatic penalty shootout, before booking their place in the final with a win in extra time over Italy on Tuesday.
