England will be out to defend their European title as the draw for Euro 2025 is made ahead of the tournament in Switzerland next summer.
The Lionesses won their first major honour on home soil when Sarina Wiegman’s team defeated Germany at Wembley in July 2022.
It was followed by a trip to the World Cup final in Australia the following year, but results have been mixed for the Lionesses since that run down under.
World champions Spain will be considered favourites ahead of England, France and a resurgent Germany side who beat the Lionesses at Wembley in October.
And England were joined by Wales who came through a play-off against the Republic of Ireland thanks to a 2-1 victory away from home in a historic result as they reached a major women’s tournament for the first time. Here’s everything you need to know.
