Underdogs seek to avenge 2023 World Cup final defeat with continental triumph
-
BASEL - England are aiming to retain their title and avenge defeat by Spain in the Women's World Cup final two years ago, when the rivals meet again on July 27 to decide who will win Euro 2025.
The showdown in Basel promises to be a fascinating contest between a Spain side looking to add the continental crown to their world title, and an England team who can secure back-to-back European Championship victories.
Spain beat England 1-0 in Sydney to win the World Cup for the first time, and another victory for La Roja in their latest clash would cement their status as the dominant force in women's international football.
"We have so much respect for them, but we also believe in ourselves, that we can really step up," said England's Ella Toone on July 25.
The 25-year-old scored the first goal for the Lionesses when they beat Germany 2-1 after extra time at Wembley to win the last Women's Euro three years ago, and has played a key role in Switzerland on their run to a third straight major tournament final.
