European champions England have announced they will play China, the champions of Asia, at Wembley in November as the Lionesses turn their attention towards the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

By edging out Spain in a penalty shootout in the European championship final, England’s women’s team cemented its position as the standard-bearer for English soccer.

The nation is rightfully saluting another triumph for England Women following their successful defence of their European crown, a feat which has seen the Lionesses become the first national football team of England to win a trophy on foreign soil.
