Spain Seeks Maiden Women’s Euro Title in Group B with Belgium, Italy, Portugal

The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 tournament has kicked off with Group B featuring Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium in Switzerland. Spain, the current World Cup holders, aim to secure their first Women's Euros title despite recent fluctuations in form and the recent hospitalization and recovery of key player Aitana Bonmati. Mariona Caldentey is highlighted as a crucial player for Spain, while Italy enters the competition with an advantage as they have not recently faced the other Group B teams in Nations League fixtures. Belgium and Italy open the group stage with Belgium having a strong historical record against Italy, although Italy is on a good run of form. UEFA is also introducing a Player of the Match award for every game in the tournament, with 31 matches planned. These developments set the stage for a highly competitive and exciting summer of European women's football.
