Wiegman emphasizes Belgium matches for England's Euro 2025 preparation

England manager Sarina Wiegman is strategically using the upcoming Nations League double-header against Belgium to prepare her team for the European Women’s Championship. The Lionesses, who recently drew with Portugal and defeated Spain, will host Belgium in Bristol before traveling to Leuven for a second match. Wiegman emphasized the importance of understanding her team's form and availability ahead of Euro 2025. Striker Alessia Russo has been in fine form, contributing significantly to Arsenal's recent Champions League success, which has drawn praise from England captain Leah Williamson. Additionally, FIFA president Gianni Infantino has indicated that the UK is poised to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup, which Wiegman welcomed as positive news for women's football in the region. The focus remains on building team connections and consistency as they face Belgium.
