They’ve done it again, which means a Lionesses victory parade is coming up!

Sarina Wiegman has led the England woman’s football team to victory at the 2025 Euros. The team have made history with their win, becoming the first nation to retain the women’s Euros since Germany won six championships in a row from 1995 to 2013.

The women’s final with Spain was a tense affair. Spain scored in the first half and England didn’t equalise until the 57th minute. The two teams held each other off for another hour, which led to a nail-biter of a penalty shoot-out. Chloe Kelly brought it home by scoring the winning penalty. Truly sublime, incredible scenes.

Women’s football has slowly been garnering more respect with more and more fans tuning in to support the British team. And it’s largely thanks to the amazing determination, skill, and resilience of this team.

“The fact that we’re here today is only because of what the Lionesses have actually achieved in the last three years,” former footballer Fara Williams told us earlier this year. “I can’t remember there ever being anything like this. Certainly not when I played.”

There’s still a long way to go in bringing equality to the sport. There’s still a big gap when it comes to prize money, media coverage and professional opportunity.

But the Lionesses are not just just fighting for victory on the pitch, they’re also fighting for equality off of it. In 2023, the team wrote a letter to the government urging them to make football more accessible for young girls in schools.
