The stage is set for an epic UEFA Women`s Euro 2025 final this Sunday, featuring reigning champions England and current World Cup holders Spain. This highly anticipated championship match brings together two European powerhouses competing for the continent`s most prestigious football title. Hosted at St. Jakob-Park in Switzerland, the game serves as both a rematch and a benchmark for the current state of women`s football in Europe, as Spain and England face off again, just two years after their clash in the FIFA 2023 Women`s World Cup final.

Spain, the 2023 World Cup champions, will bring their technical prowess against England, the 2022 Euro champions, known for their resilience. The difference between these two formidable teams is minimal, yet each side feels confident about their chances.

Both teams have been exceptional offensively in this tournament, collectively scoring 32 goals – 17 for Spain and 15 for England. A total of 21 different players have found the net, with England (11 scorers) slightly outnumbering Spain (10 scorers). Defensively, Spain boasts three shutouts, including two clean sheets in the knockout rounds, having conceded only three goals overall. England, however, has allowed six goals and recorded just one clean sheet throughout the tournament.

England`s path to the final included two demanding extra-time knockout matches: a quarterfinal penalty shootout victory against Sweden and a semifinal triumph over Italy, fueled by impactful substitutes like Chloe Kelly and Michelle Agyemang. Meanwhile, Spain eliminated host nation Switzerland in the quarterfinal and achieved a historic first-ever victory against Germany in their semifinal match.

Now, these two nations meet 707 days after their 2023 World Cup encounter, with another major trophy at stake. Spain aims to secure their first-ever Euro title, while England seeks to make history by achieving a potential repeat, a feat not accomplished in over a decade.

Recent Encounters

The 2023 FIFA Women`s World Cup Final:

This match was filled with immense stakes. England, fresh off their 2022 Euro win, were considered strong favorites, while Spain was highly motivated to prove themselves amidst internal issues with their federation and coaching staff. The game concluded with a narrow 1-0 victory for Spain, thanks to a goal from defender Olga Carmona.

The 2025 UEFA Nations League:

The teams have faced each other since the World Cup final. They split two single-goal victories earlier this year during the 2025 UEFA Nations League. England defeated Spain 1-0 in February, with a goal from Jess Park. Spain retaliated in June with a 2-1 win, driven by two goals from substitute Claudia Pina, which also knocked England out of the competition.

England`s Evolution Since the 2023 Final

England`s 2022 Euro championship established the Lionesses as a global elite program, raising expectations for their 2023 World Cup campaign, where they finished as runners-up. The lead-up to the 2025 Euro has seen several key players from the 2022 roster retire. Nevertheless, 14 players on England`s current Euro squad were part of the 2023 World Cup team, eight of whom were starters in that final.

Former Lionesses striker Ellen White, midfielder Fran Kirby, defender Rachel Daly, and goalkeeper Mary Earps were pivotal during England`s triumphant Euro run but are absent from this year`s tournament (Earps announced her departure in May, just two months before). Throughout their current Euro journey, the team has also managed injuries; forward Lauren James is recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the semifinal, with her status uncertain, while Leah Williamson and Lucy Bronze are playing through leg injuries.

Head coach Sarina Wiegman has faced some criticism regarding her tactical approach and limited substitutions. However, despite the nerve-wracking late-game heroics from Agyemang and Kelly, her coaching methods have yielded results. This squad has truly emerged as the tournament`s «lionhearts» due to their unwavering effort.

England is chasing a piece of history: not only a potential repeat Euro title but also aiming to become the first team to win the Euro after losing their opening match. They have battled through the group stage and knockout rounds to reach the final, and having invested so much energy and emotion, they are prepared to give everything to lift the trophy.

Spain`s Evolution Since the 2023 Final

Similar to England, Spain`s World Cup victory elevated their program to the top three in FIFA rankings, having been outside the top five before their 2023 run. Their Euro squad includes 11 players from the World Cup-winning roster, with eight starters from that final returning. Crucially, Spain`s significant personnel changes since the 2023 World Cup began at the federation and coaching levels.

Their World Cup triumph was unfortunately overshadowed. Former RFEF president Luis Rubiales initiated a non-consensual kiss with player Jenni Hermoso on the medal podium. His close ties to former manager Jorge Vilda – against whom players had revolted before and after the World Cup due to his coaching style – ultimately led to Rubiales` firing and Vilda`s subsequent dismissal.

Montse Tome took over as head coach in September 2023. The program secured a fourth-place finish at the 2024 Olympics, marking their debut at the Summer Games. As a former player turned coach, Tome faced criticism for her lineup choices and somewhat predictable tactics during that competition, but reaching the Euro final is a significant achievement.

Spain`s midfield dominance, featuring the trio of Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas, and Patri Guijarro, continues to define their possession-based play. Forward Esther Gonzalez leads the team and the Euros in the Golden Boot race. With many key players from the World Cup final remaining, Claudia Pina has transformed from a bench player to a reliable starter, showcasing relentless attacking effort and a threat from set-pieces.

The team is making its first appearance in the Euro final and aims to become the eighth different country to win the tournament. If they win, they will join Germany as the only nations to immediately follow a World Cup win with a Euro title. The Netherlands is the only team in the last 30 years to win the Euro (2017) in their inaugural final appearance.

Ayollar o`rtasidagi Yevro-2025 finali: Angliya va Ispaniya to`qnashuvi

Bu yakshanba kuni amaldagi chempion Angliya va amaldagi Jahon Kubogi sohibi Ispaniya o`rtasidagi UEFA Ayollar o`rtasidagi Yevro-2025 finali uchun sahna tayyor. Bu uzoq kutilgan chempionlik o`yini qit`aning eng nufuzli futbol unvoni uchun ikki Yevropa gigantini bir joyga jamlaydi. Shveysariyaning Sankt-Yakob-Park stadionida o`tkaziladigan ushbu o`yin Angliya va Ispaniya FIFA 2023 Ayollar Jahon Kubogi finalidagi to`qnashuvidan atigi ikki yil o`tib yana to`qnash kelayotgani sababli, ham revansh, ham Yevropada ayollar futbolining hozirgi holati uchun mezon bo`lib xizmat qiladi.

2023-yilgi Jahon Kubogi chempioni Ispaniya o`zining texnik mahoratini 2022-yilgi Yevro chempioni, o`zining chidamliligi bilan tanilgan Angliyaga qarshi qo`yadi. Bu ikki kuchli jamoa o`rtasidagi farq juda oz, ammo har bir jamoa o`z imkoniyatlariga ishonch bilan qaraydi.

Ikkala jamoa ham bu turnirda hujumda ajoyib natija ko`rsatdi, jami 32 ta gol urdi – Ispaniya 17 ta, Angliya 15 ta. Jami 21 xil futbolchi gol urishga muvaffaq bo`ldi, bunda Angliya (11 ta gol muallifi) Ispaniyadan (10 ta gol muallifi) biroz ustunlik qildi. Himoyada Ispaniya uch marta gol o`tkazmagan o`yin o`tkazdi, shu jumladan pley-off bosqichida ikkita quruq o`yin, jami faqat uchta gol o`tkazib yuborgan. Angliya esa oltita gol o`tkazib yuborgan va turnirda faqat bir marta gol o`tkazmagan.

Angliyaning finalga chiqish yo`li ikki qiyin qo`shimcha vaqtli pley-off o`yinlarini o`z ichiga oldi: Shvetsiyaga qarshi chorak finalda penaltilar seriyasida g`alaba va yarim finalda Italiya ustidan qo`shimcha vaqtda g`alaba, Chloe Kelly va Michelle Agyemang kabi zaxira o`yinchilarining kuchli hissasi bilan. Shu bilan birga, Ispaniya chorak finalda mezbon Shveysariyani mag`lub etdi va yarim finalda Germaniyaga qarshi o`z tarixida birinchi marta g`alaba qozondi.

Endi bu ikki davlat 2023-yilgi Jahon Kubogidagi to`qnashuvidan 707 kun o`tib, yana bir yirik sovrin uchun uchrashadi. Ispaniya o`zining birinchi Yevro unvonini qo`lga kiritishni maqsad qilgan bo`lsa, Angliya o`n yildan ortiq vaqtdan beri amalga oshmagan takroriy g`alaba bilan tarix yaratishga intiladi.

So`nggi uchrashuvlar

2023-yilgi FIFA Ayollar Jahon Kubogi finali:

Bu o`yin ulkan natijalarga boy edi. 2022-yilgi Yevro g`alabasidan so`ng Angliya kuchli favorit deb hisoblangan bo`lsa, Ispaniya o`z federatsiyasi va murabbiylar shtabi bilan ichki muammolar sharoitida o`zini isbotlashga juda motivatsiya bilan yondashgan. O`yin 1:0 hisobida Ispaniyaning tor g`alabasi bilan yakunlandi, golni himoyachi Olga Karmona kiritdi.

2025-yilgi UEFA Millatlar Ligasi:

Jahon Kubogi finalidan beri jamoalar bir-birlariga qarshi to`qnash kelishdi. Ular bu yil boshida 2025-yilgi UEFA Millatlar Ligasida ikkita bittadan gollik g`alabani bo`lishib oldilar. Angliya fevral oyida Ispaniyani Jess Parkning goli bilan 1:0 hisobida mag`lub etdi. Ispaniya iyun oyida 2:1 hisobida javob qaytardi, zaxiradan maydonga tushgan Klaudiya Pinaning ikkita goli bilan Angliyani musobaqadan chiqardi.

Angliyaning 2023-yilgi finaldan keyingi o`zgarishlari

Angliyaning 2022-yilgi Yevro chempionligi «Lionesses»ni global elita dasturlari qatoriga kiritdi va ularning 2023-yilgi Jahon Kubogi kampaniyasi uchun umidlarni oshirdi, u yerda ular ikkinchi o`rinni egalladi. 2025-yilgi Yevroga tayyorgarlik davrida 2022-yilgi ro`yxatdan bir nechta asosiy o`yinchilar faoliyatini yakunladi. Shunga qaramay, Angliyaning hozirgi Yevro tarkibida 2023-yilgi Jahon Kubogi jamoasida bo`lgan 14 nafar futbolchi bor, ulardan sakkiztasi o`sha finalda asosiy tarkibda edi.

Sobiq «Lionesses» hujumchisi Ellen White, yarim himoyachi Fren Kirby, himoyachi Reychel Daly va darvozabon Meri Earps Angliyaning g`alaba qozongan Yevro yo`lida muhim o`yinchilar bo`lishgan, ammo bu yilgi turnirda yo`q (Earps may oyida, musobaqadan atigi ikki oy oldin ketganini e`lon qildi). Joriy Yevro sayohati davomida jamoa jarohatlar bilan ham kurashdi; hujumchi Lauren James yarim finalda olgan to`piq jarohatidan tiklanmoqda, uning holati noaniq, Leah Williamson va Lucy Bronze esa oyoq jarohatlari bilan o`ynashmoqda.

Bosh murabbiy Sarina Vigman o`zining taktikasiga va cheklangan almashtirishlariga nisbatan ba`zi tanqidlarga duch keldi. Biroq, Agyemang va Kellyning so`nggi daqiqalardagi asabni taranglashtiruvchi qahramonliklariga qaramay, uning murabbiylik usullari natija berdi. Ushbu jamoa o`zining tinimsiz sa`y-harakatlari tufayli turnirning «sher yuraklari» sifatida namoyon bo`ldi.

Angliya tarixiy yutuqqa intilmoqda: nafaqat takroriy Yevro unvonini qo`lga kiritish, balki ochilish o`yinida mag`lub bo`lib, Yevroni yutgan birinchi jamoa bo`lishni ham maqsad qilgan. Ular finalga chiqish uchun guruh bosqichi va pley-off bosqichida kurashdilar va shuncha energiya va hissiyot sarflagan holda, unvonni ko`tarish uchun bor kuchlarini sarflashga tayyorlar.

Ispaniyaning 2023-yilgi finaldan keyingi o`zgarishlari

Angliyaga o`xshab, Ispaniyaning Jahon Kubogidagi g`alabasi ularning dasturini FIFA reytingida eng yaxshi uchlikka olib chiqdi, 2023-yilgi o`yin oldidan ular kuchli beshlikdan tashqarida edi. Ularning Yevro tarkibiga Jahon Kubogini yutgan tarkibdan 11 nafar futbolchi kirgan, o`sha finaldagi sakkiz nafar asosiy o`yinchi qaytgan. Muhimi, Ispaniyaning 2023-yilgi Jahon Kubogidan keyingi muhim kadrlar o`zgarishlari federatsiya va murabbiylar darajasida boshlandi.

Afsuski, ularning Jahon Kubogi g`alabasi boshqa voqea bilan soyada qoldi. Sobiq RFEF prezidenti Luis Rubiales medallar podiumida futbolchi Jenni Hermoso bilan ruxsatsiz o`pishni boshladi. Uning sobiq murabbiy Xorxe Vilda – o`yinchilar Jahon Kubogi oldidan va keyin uning murabbiylik uslubi tufayli unga qarshi qo`zg`olon ko`targan edi – oxir-oqibat Rubialesning ishdan bo`shatilishiga va Vildaning ham keyinchalik ishdan olinishiga olib keldi.

Montse Tome 2023-yil sentyabr oyidan boshlab jamoaning bosh murabbiyi etib tayinlandi. Dastur 2024-yilgi Olimpiya o`yinlarida to`rtinchi o`rinni egalladi, bu ularning Yozgi o`yinlardagi debyuti edi. Sobiq futbolchi, hozir murabbiy bo`lgan Tome ushbu musobaqa davomida o`z tarkib tanlovi va biroz bashoratli taktikasi uchun tanqidga uchradi, ammo Yevro finaliga chiqish katta yutuqdir.

Ispaniyaning yarim himoyadagi ustunligi, Aitana Bonmatí, Alexia Putellas va Patri Guijarro uchligi bilan, o`zining to`pga egalik qilishga asoslangan o`yinini belgilashda davom etmoqda. Hujumchi Esther Gonzalez jamoani va Yevroni «Oltin butsa» poygasida yetaklab bormoqda. Jahon Kubogi finalidan ko`plab asosiy o`yinchilar qolgan holda, Klaudiya Pina zaxira o`yinchisidan ishonchli asosiy tarkib o`yinchisiga aylandi, u hujumda tinimsiz harakatlarini va standart vaziyatlardan xavf yaratish qobiliyatini namoyish etdi.

Jamoa Yevro finalida birinchi marta ishtirok etmoqda va turnirni yutgan sakkizinchi turli mamlakat bo`lishni maqsad qilgan. Agar ular g`alaba qozonsa, ular Germaniya bilan birga Jahon Kubogi g`alabasidan so`ng darhol Yevro unvonini qo`lga kiritgan yagona davlatlar qatoriga qo`shiladi. Oxirgi 30 yil ichida Gollandiya (2017) o`zining birinchi final ishtirokida Yevroni yutgan yagona jamoa.
