Fans get 'Battle of Britain' in tough Euro 2025 draw

Holders England and debutants Wales are joined by France and the Netherlands in Group D
England will face debutants Wales, France and the Netherlands at Euro 2025 in Switzerland as the Lionesses kick off the defence of their European crown in a tough group that is bursting with narrative.
The Lionesses open their tournament against France in Zurich on Saturday 5 July before Sarina Wiegman faces her native country and former team Netherlands on Wednesday 9 July.
England and first-time qualifiers Wales will then meet in a “Battle of Britain” clash in St Gallen on Sunday 12 July, which could well have a say in determining the outcome of a blockbuster Group D.
Rhian Wilkinson’s side secured their historic place at the tournament by beating the Republic of Ireland in a play-off and they will play their first match against 2017 winners Netherlands in Lucerne on 5 July.
Wiegman’s European champions will know they cannot afford a slow start to their tournament defence when they begin against France, with only the top two teams advancing to the quarterfinals.
