Summary
- England and Spain face off in the Euro 2025 final, their third meeting in a major tournament in three years

The Euro 2025 final is set to be a clash between the two dominant powers in women's football, as England and Spain face off for the third time in a major tournament in the last three years. The match at St Jakob-Park in Basel promises to be a tense and tactical affair, with England manager Sarina Wiegman looking to find a way to surprise the imperious Spanish team.
Both teams are going for doubles, with Spain aiming to become just the third side to be world and European champions at the same time, after Norway in 1995-97 and Germany in 2003-11. For England, it's the chance to become the second side to retain the Euros, after Germany's run from 1989 to 2013.
The two squads have a deep understanding of each other, having faced off six times in the last three years, with Spain winning two of the last three meetings. However, England's previous 1-0 victory over Spain in February suggests they have the ability to upset the world champions.
With the women's game continuing to grow in significance, both teams are aware of the wider impact a victory would have. England's semi-final brought a peak audience of 10.2 million on ITV, while Spain's semi-final attracted 40% of the national audience share. Whoever lifts the trophy, the women's game will be the real winner.
