London, April 15: England and Spain are set to clash once again in a Women’s World Cup qualifier at Wembley Stadium. The Lionesses triumphed over Spain in a penalty shootout to secure the Euro 2025 title in Basel last summer. This came after Spain defeated England two years prior to claim the World Cup in Sydney.
Now, Sarina Wiegman’s European champions will take on the world champions in the race for a spot in the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. They are joined in their four-team group by Ukraine and Iceland.
With only one automatic qualifying spot available, both England and Spain enter the match at Wembley with six points from two games played. England recently scored six goals against Ukraine and followed up with a 2-0 victory over Iceland. Spain has also secured two wins in their opening matches.
