Wiegman hopes victory can boost game worldwide
The Gazette
|July 29, 2025
ENGLAND boss Sarina Wiegman hopes the impact of the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 triumph reverberates around the world.
Three summers ago, it would have been impossible to imagine a goal more significant than the one scored by substitute Chloe Kelly in extra-time at Wembley to fire England to their first major trophy.
But Kelly came through again when it counted most, emphatically netting the winning penalty in Basel as England completed their third-consecutive comeback victory to defend that title with a 3-1 penalties triumph over world champions Spain.
“I hope it will boost the women’s game even more, not only in England, but beyond,” said Wiegman, who secured a personal hat-trick of European trophies after leading the Netherlands to glory in 2017, followed by the Lionesses’ back-to-back wins.
