Spain face England at Wembley in high-stakes World Cup qualifier

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 06:06 · 1 min read

Spain's women's national team travel to Wembley on Tuesday to face European champions England in a pivotal qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, with more than 70,000 spectators expected at the iconic London stadium. Both sides arrive level on six points at the top of their qualifying group, having each beaten Iceland and Ukraine, and the winner will take a significant step toward securing the only automatic qualification spot in the group. The encounter carries added weight as it comes just eight months after England defeated Spain on penalties in the Euro 2025 final — a result that denied the Spanish a historic treble following their 2023 World Cup and 2024 Nations League titles — though Spain captain Irene Paredes was quick to downplay any notion of revenge, saying the priority is simply the three points. The teams will meet again on 5 June in Palma de Mallorca, meaning this double header will likely determine who qualifies directly for Brazil.
