England meets Sweden: an EM quarter-finals full of excitement!
On July 17, 2025, football fans keep their breath away, while the UEFA women's European Championship takes its exciting course in Switzerland. A look back into the recent past shows that England defeated Sweden 4-0 in the semi-finals of the 2022 women of 2022. With this outstanding victory, the Englishers secured the place in the final, where they won the title against Germany just five days later. This year, many players from the 2022 squad will again compete, which increases the anticipation for the tournament.
The coaches, Sarina Wiegman of England and Peter Gerhardsson of Sweden, are the same as three years ago. This gives both teams a certain continuity while preparing for the challenges of the current tournament. England captain Leah Williamson emphasizes that both teams have developed greatly since the last meeting.
Current form and competition of past encounters
The statistics show that Sweden confidently ended the group phase in this tournament with impressive 8: 1 goals and maximum points. In contrast, England made a stand of 6-1, which included a clear victory against Wales, but also a 1-2 defeat against France, which dampened the ambitions of the English players.
In the last encounters between the two teams, both were able to shape a game in a draw: a 1: 1 in April 2024 and a 0-0 in July 2024. These results teach that despite the different starting position in the current tournament, the games between England and Sweden are always highly fought.
