England's women's national team went into 2025 with one big aim - that to defend their European title. By beating Spain on penalties in the final of the European Championships, they did exactly that. It was by no means easy for the Lionesses in Switzerland, with a shootout also needed to beat Sweden in the last eight and extra time necessary in the semi-final win over Italy. But at the end of it all, Sarina Wiegman's side came out on top once more, getting revenge on Spain after defeat in the 2023 Women's World Cup final.
But just because the Euros is over doesn't mean England don't have plenty more valuable work to be doing in the second half of 2025. After finishing second in their Nations League group, the Lionesses won't be involved in the finals of that competition in the autumn. However, that has given Wiegman and the Football Association (FA) the chance to book in some important friendlies as the attention starts to turn to the 2027 Women's World Cup, for which the 2023 runners-up now know their qualifying opponents, too.
