Spain to meet Italy, Belgium and Portugal at Women's Euro 2025

World Cup winners Spain will play Italy, Belgium and Portugal at Women's Euro 2025, while England face a tough path to defending their title at next year's tournament in Switzerland.

Reigning European champions and 2023 World Cup runners-up England were drawn alongside France, the Netherlands and debutants Wales in a challenging Group D.

The Netherlands won the tournament on home soil in 2017 under current England boss Sarina Wiegman.

Germany, who have won eight of the previous 13 editions, meet 1984 winners Sweden, Denmark and newcomers Poland in Group C.

The Germans won sixth successive titles between 1995 and 2013 but were beaten by England after extra time in the final two years ago at Wembley.
