Spain, Germany Face Off in Women's Euro 2025 Semifinal in Zurich

The 2025 UEFA Women's European Championship semifinal features a highly anticipated match between Germany, the record eight-time European champions, and Spain, the tournament favorites who have yet to beat Germany in their history. Germany demonstrated resilience in their quarterfinal win against France, overcoming a red card and a penalty to advance via a penalty shootout, while Spain maintained a perfect record through the tournament, dispatching Switzerland 2-0. Spain aims to reach their first-ever Euro final and are favored to win against Germany, who have historically dominated their encounters, including a recent win at the 2024 Olympics. England has already secured a place in the final after defeating Italy in their semifinal match. Notably, Germany's squad includes two players, Sarai Linder and Laura Freigang, who developed their skills in the U.S. college system before returning to top Bundesliga clubs. The winner of the Germany-Spain semifinal will face England in the final scheduled in Basel, Switzerland.
