Spain Faces England in Crucial World Cup Qualifier
June 6, 2026 · Ăscar Bravo
Spain's women's national team faces England in a crucial match to secure direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup, with key players returning and a chance to avenge a previous defeat.
The Spanish womenâs national team is set for a decisive showdown against England in Palma de Mallorca. As reigning world champions, Spain currently sits second in their group with 9 points and must defeat the British team, which leads the group with 12 points, to claim the top position and secure direct qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil, avoiding the need for playoffs.
A significant boost for head coach Sonia BermĂșdez is the return of Aitana BonmatĂ, a three-time Ballon dâOr winner, who has recovered from a serious fibula injury. On the other side, England, managed by Sarina Wiegman, will be without key defensive player Leah Williamson but welcomes back Lauren James and Ella Toone. Spain aims to leverage their home advantage to overcome the 1-0 loss they suffered at Wembley and take a substantial step toward World Cup qualification.
