England will host reigning world champions Spain in February in what will be a repeat of the 2023 Women’s World Cup final.
The Lionesses, who are bidding to retain their Euro 2022 title in Switzlerand next summer, will take on Spain at Wembley Stadium on Feb. 26 in their second UEFA Nations League game.
“It’s very exciting to start 2025 at home in this way,” England boss Sarina Wiegman said in a statement.
“We always want to perform against the best and there’s no doubt that Spain as world champions and Nations League holders are one of the biggest challenges we can face. That’s how we will continue to develop and grow in a big year for us.
“The game is made even more special by the fact that it’s at Wembley, a place that holds so many memories for the team and our fans. We will need the fans support, and I hope they’re looking forward to what will be another big night under the lights at our home.”
It will be the first time the two sides have met since they faced off for the World Cup title in August 2023 when Spain emerged as 1-0 winners following a first-half Olga Carmona strike.
England and Spain will also face Portugal and Belgium in Group A3.
Before facing Spain, England must close out 2024 with friendlies against the United States on Nov. 30 and Switzerland on Dec. 3.
