The Spanish women’s national football team qualified for the Eurocup semifinals last Friday in Switzerland, a round they hadn’t reached in almost 30 years. Spain, the current European champion, aims for a rare double with the EURO, a feat achieved only by their upcoming rival in the semifinals, Germany. The ‘Roja’ broke through in 2023 and has since become a reliable team in major competitions.
Ranked number two by FIFA, Spain had historically reached the Eurocup semifinals in 1997 but struggled to win knockout matches until 2023. Overcoming past disappointments, they have now established themselves among the best teams in Europe. After winning the World Cup in Oceania, they triumphed in the Nations League and secured a spot in the first edition of the tournament.
Their journey continued with a place in the Olympics in Paris, where they reached the semifinals but fell short of a medal. Eager to defend their title, Spain faced tough opponents in the Nations League before progressing to the Eurocup semifinals. With an unbeaten record in the tournament, they are on a nine-game winning streak, showcasing their strength on the field.
Next Wednesday, Spain will face Germany in the semifinals, aiming to reach their third major final in two years. Their consistent performance in recent years has solidified their status as one of Europe’s top teams. As they pursue victory in the upcoming matches, Spain remains the only semifinalist with a flawless record, setting the stage for an exciting showdown in the quest for the title.
