England's women's national football team, the Lionesses, clinched their second consecutive UEFA Women's Euro title by defeating world champions Spain in a tense penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the final held in Basel, Switzerland.
Chloe Kelly scored the decisive penalty, while goalkeeper Hannah Hampton was named Player of the Match for her crucial saves. The victory marks the first time in 12 years that a nation has defended the women's European crown, and the first major title won by an English senior team on foreign soil. The Lionesses' triumph was celebrated with an open-top bus parade in London and widespread national acclaim.
The win also served as revenge for England's loss to Spain in the 2023 World Cup final, cementing their status as one of the world's top teams.
