The England women’s team secured automatic qualification for the upcoming tournament by achieving a point in their final game against Gothenburg. Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton made a brilliant save to keep a clean sheet, ensuring their spot in the tournament.

The team is aiming to defend the European Championship title they won in 2022. Their 4-0 win against Sweden in the semi-finals of the previous tournament was followed by an extra-time victory over Germany, marking their first-ever major trophy win.

Despite the potential for finishing at the top of their group, they settled for a draw in the final game against Sweden. The draw led to Sweden’s participation in the play-offs to determine the final seven participants in the tournament.

The game saw England starting strong, controlling possession, but testing the Swedish goalkeeper only rarely in the first half. Sweden struggled to create clear-cut chances but became more adventurous in the second half, resulting in a nervy ending.

The Lionesses held on to secure their spot in the tournament, marking a relieving moment for the team. Additionally, special offers, promotions, and adverts from the community and its partners are offered to the members.
