Spain will be in a challenging group with Italy, Belgium and Portugal at the Women’s Euro 2025, while defending champions England face France, the Netherlands and debutants Wales.
World Cup winners Spain will play Italy, Belgium and Portugal at Women’s Euro 2025 , while England face a tough path to defending their title at the tournament in Switzerland. Reigning European champions and 2023 World Cup runners-up England were drawn alongside France, the Netherlands and debutants Wales in a challenging Group D of the tournament, which runs from July 2-27.
Wiegman will take on her native country on July 9, before England conclude their group-stage campaign against local rivals Wales. “We’re neighbours so there’s a rivalry on the pitch, which is good,” Wiegman said to the BBC, looking forward to her team’s clash with Wales, who are making their bow at a major international tournament. “I expect them to get everything out of themselves that they have in them and fight for every yard in the game and enjoy it.” France, beaten semi-finalists in the last edition of the Euros, have never won a major tournament in the women’s game. “I think the other teams must be dreading being in the same group as France,” said coach Laurent Bonadei. “At this level, all the groups are tough, like Germany’s, and even Spain’s is an equal group,” he added, looking at the rest of the draw. Germany, who have won eight of the previous 13 editions, meet 1984 winners Sweden, Denmark and newcomers Poland in Group C. The Germans won six successive titles between 1995 and 2013 but lost to England after extra time in the final two years ago at Wembley. Hosts Switzerland kick off the tournament against two-time former champions Norway in Group A, which also includes Iceland and Finland. Spain have reached the quarter-finals of the last three European Championships. They made the last four on their debut in 1997
