England will face Women's Asian Cup winners China in a meeting of continental champions at Wembley in November. The friendly match will serve as a perfect rehearsal for Sarina Wiegman's side ahead of the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifiers, which begin in February. The Lionesses won the 2025 European Championship by beating Spain on penalties in the final.
Sarina Wiegman danced and sang with her "favourite artist" Burna Boy during England's Euro 2025 celebrations outside Buckingham Palace. The Dutch coach guided the Lionesses to their second successive European Championship title, with world champions Spain dispatched in the final.
Football Association (FA) chief executive Mark Bullingham has offered a guarded response regarding Sarina Wiegman's long-term future as England boss following the Lionesses' dramatic Euro 2025 final triumph over Spain. While Wiegman remains under contract through the 2027 World Cup, there is no confirmation yet about her plans beyond that tournament.
Erik ten Hag shared important advice for Sarina Wiegman and her Dutch coaching staff ahead of England's all-important Women's Euro 2025 final against world champions Spain. England, who qualified for the final after two nail-biting clashes in the knockout stage, will aim to defend their trophy and also avenge their World Cup final loss from two years ago.
Lauren James has been declared fully fit and available for selection by Sarina Wiegman as England prepare to face Spain in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final. She had sparked concerns in the Lionesses dressing room after she picked up an ankle issue during the semi-final win over Italy. However, the Chelsea star completed training on Saturday in Zurich and is now in contention for Sunday’s high-stakes finale in Basel.
England and Manchester United star Ella Toone jokingly claimed that the Lionesses have "nearly killed" manager Sarina Wieman after making a habit of staging late comebacks at the ongoing Women's Euro 2025. England won both their knockout games with last-gasp goals against Sweden and Italy and that has had mentally impacted head coach Wiegman.
