Women’s Euro 2025 live: England and Wales set for ‘derby’ as possible quarter-final opponents revealed

“We definitely won’t go into the game complacent,” Hemp said. “Wales have done well this tournament, they deserve to be here and we’ve got so much respect for them. They’ve got a lot of great players who I have experienced playing week in week out in the WSL, so they’ve got a good team.”

England face Wales at Euro 2025 as the British rivals clash with a place in the quarter-finals on the line.

Holders England could have been out if they lost to the Netherlands on Wednesday but produced an excellent performance to win 4-0 and spark their tournament into life.

The Lionesses are guaranteed to reach the quarter-finals with a win of any kind while Wales need to win against England and hope other results go their way.

Wales, who have lost both of their games, need to win and for France to beat the Netherlands but the tournament debuts also require a huge goal swing to advance.

Here’s everything you need to know

If there was any question about how England would prepare for Sunday’s “derby” against Wales, Sarina Wiegman actually revealed it the moment the build-up started. The coach had been asked whether goal difference had been a consideration in the minutes after the 4-0 win over the Netherlands.

“No,” Wiegman responded. “We discussed how to play at our best.”

As classically simple as that sounds, and as different as this game is to the Dutch, it does illustrate the mentality running through the squad now.
