England Women

The England Women's National Team, known globally as the "Lionesses," is the representative team for England in international women's football competitions. Governed by the Football Association (FA) since 1993, they were previously administered by the Women's Football Association (WFA). Their first official international match was in November 1972 against Scotland. The team has experienced significant growth and success, culminating in their historic victory at the UEFA Women's EURO 2022, held on home soil, where they defeated Germany in the final at Wembley Stadium in front of a record crowd. This triumph not only marked their first major European title but also the first major championship for any England senior team (men's or women's) since 1966.

The Lionesses have also made a significant mark on the world stage, having participated in six editions of the Women's World Cup. Their most notable performances include a third-place finish in Canada 2015 and, more recently, runners-up in Australia and New Zealand 2023, where they fell to Spain in the final. They have consistently reached the knockout stages, making the quarter-finals in 1995, 2007, and 2011, and a fourth-place finish in 2019. Under the management of Sarina Wiegman since 2021, the team has displayed attractive and competitive football, establishing themselves as a powerhouse in women's football.
