Best Moments

Alex Popp’s Germany relief on July 8

Alex Popp, a forward for Germany, may have felt cursed after missing the prior two Women’s EUROs due to injury; in fact, she would have missed these finals with another injury had they been played as scheduled in 2021.

10 July: Grace Geyoro completes a hat-trick for France in the first half

The 5-1 victory over Italy by Les Bleues—along with England’s 8-0 rout of Norway—was the most impressive outcome of the group stage, and the Paris midfielder displayed great control as she finished off her hat-trick.

Austria celebrates qualification on July 15

The biggest surprises of the group stage may have been Belgium and Austria. Irene Fuhrmann’s Austria nearly held England on the first day, then advanced after overcoming Northern Ireland and – by a score of 1-0 – Norway, their delight at a job well done evidently in their celebrations.

Georgia Stanway’s tirade against Spain on July 20

After easily winning the group round, England was outplayed by Spain in the quarterfinals but managed to tie the score to force extra time. Georgia Stanway’s incredible long-range shot gave England the victory.

22 July: Linda Sembrant’s dramatic victory over Sweden

Belgium’s tenacity saw them through the group stage, defeating Italy and Iceland in the process, and nearly advanced them to the quarterfinal against Sweden before Linda Sembrant ultimately beat Red Flames goalie Nicky Evrard from close range as Belgium failed to clear a corner.

Alessia Russo’s backheel versus Sweden on July 26

Described by teammate Beth Mead as “a very naughty goal,” Alessia Russo’s improvised finish between the legs of Sweden goalie Hedvig Lindahl had England supporters cheering all over the country. The Manchester United forward was merely happy to redeem himself after just seconds before blowing a golden opportunity.

Final: England vs. Germany on July 31. (17:00, Wembley)

Semifinals: Tuesday, July 26, England 4-0 Sweden (Sheffield)

Germany defeated France 2-1 on July 27. (Milton Keynes)

The final will be held at Wembley Stadium in London in 2022.

The 87,000-seat stadium, which replaced the Twin Towers-dominated Empire Stadium that stood from 1923 to 2002, needs no introduction. It debuted in its current form in 2007 beneath a 133-meter arch (though closed in 2000). Wembley will host its first Women’s EURO final, but it has previously hosted the men’s final twice, in 1996 and 2021, as well as the FIFA World Cup final of 1966 and numerous other major events, not to mention the FA Women’s Cup final every year since 2015.
