The nation is rightfully saluting another triumph for England Women following their successful defence of their European crown, a feat which has seen the Lionesses become the first national football team of England to win a trophy on foreign soil.

European champions England have announced they will play China, the champions of Asia, at Wembley in November as the Lionesses turn their attention towards the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

England's Lionesses repeated the feat they managed in 2022 by establishing themselves as the top dogs in Europe on Sunday. They went in as underdogs against high-flying Spain but took the game to penalties, where Hannah Hampton saved two spot-kicks before the winning moment was sealed by Chloe Kelly.
