Wiegman relishing different challenge for Lionesses
Birmingham Mail
|October 25, 2025
ENGLAND boss Sarina Wiegman is looking forward to a different challenge as her side prepare to take on Brazil in a friendly at the Etihad Stadium today.
The two teams will face off for the first time since their meeting in the Finalissima at Wembley Stadium in 2023 where the hosts came out on top in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw.
The England squad will take to the field for the first time since winning the Euros this summer and will then face Australia three days later in Derby. Wiegman confirmed Keira Walsh will captain the side this evening in the absence of Leah Williamson through injury. She said:
"They're very physical and athletic. They have a lot of pace up front. They can play football but they also really want to play fast forward - so that will challenge us.
