France Women Defeat England in UEFA Women’s Euro Upset

The UEFA Women’s European Championship, a premier competition since 1984, has seen Germany dominate with eight titles, including six consecutive wins from 1995 to 2013, showcasing their long-standing supremacy in European women's football. Recently, France delivered a stunning upset by defeating reigning champions England 2-1 at Euro 2025, marking a rare early exit for the title holders and handing a significant loss to England's coach Sarina Wiegman, who had only lost twice in major finals before. England, the 2022 champions, have also recorded some of the largest winning margins in tournament history, including an 8-0 victory over Norway, highlighting their offensive strength. Meanwhile, Germany continues to assert dominance, entering Euro 2025 with a strong winning record and heavy favorites against debutants Poland, who are on an unbeaten streak but face daunting head-to-head statistics. The rivalry between France and England remains intense, with their upcoming group stage match at Euro 2025 being their 28th encounter and a key fixture in the tournament. These developments reflect the evolving competitiveness and growing stature of women's football in Europe.
