Spain will begin its UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 campaign on Thursday, July 3, against neighbors Portugal in Group B.
The reigning FIFA Women's World Cup champions are the favorites to lift the trophy in Switzerland this summer. Still, preparations for the tournament have been overshadowed by sudden illnesses to key players over the past week.
This will be Spain’s fifth appearance at the Women’s Euros. La Roja have never won the trophy, with the nation’s best finish being a semifinal in 1997.
Portugal did not qualify for the Women’s Euros until 2017, but it has now qualified for three consecutive tournaments. However, Portugal failed to advance out of the group stage at both Euro 2017 and 2022.
Spain and Portugal recently met twice in the 2025 UEFA Women’s Nations League. Spain dominated both matches, winning 4–2 in Paços de Ferreira, Portugal, and 7–1 in Vigo, Spain.
