England to Host Spain at Wembley in April as World Cup Qualifiers Get Underway
The Lionesses will welcome world champions Spain to their iconic stadium for a 2027 Women's World Cup qualifier, setting the stage for an exciting encounter between two of the tournament's heavy hitters. This latest fixture announcement comes hot on the heels of England's triumph over Spain in the Euro 2025 final, where the team ultimately retained their European title.
Sarina Wiegman, manager of the Lionesses, has expressed her eagerness to face Spain again at Wembley Stadium. The two sides will meet for the third time this year on April 14th, with kickoff scheduled for an evening slot that has yet to be confirmed. This highly anticipated match marks another significant test for England as they vie for qualification to the next Women's World Cup in Brazil.
Wiegman acknowledges the challenge posed by Spain, describing them as "one of the best teams in the world" and emphasizing the mutual respect between their coaching staffs. With England also set to face Iceland and Ukraine in Group A3, the road to qualification promises to be a demanding one.
Qualifying for the World Cup follows the same format as the Nations League, with the four group winners automatically securing spots at the finals. The remaining teams will need to navigate a play-off system to secure their places among the best national women's football sides in the world.
As England looks to overcome the stiff competition and make it to Brazil, fans can expect an electrifying atmosphere at Wembley Stadium when Spain arrives on April 14th.
