Women's Euro 2025 – Your Quick Guide to the Biggest Women's Football Event

Excitement is building for Women's Euro 2025, the tournament that will showcase the best of European women’s football. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or new to the sport, this guide gives you the basics you need to follow the action, plan a trip, or keep up with the stories that matter.

When and Where: Dates, Venues, and How to Get Tickets

The tournament kicks off on June 13, 2025, and runs through July 30. Ten host cities across five countries will stage 31 matches, from the opening game in Stockholm’s Friends Arena to the final at London’s Wembley Stadium. The other venues include Berlin’s Olympiastadion, Munich’s Allianz Arena, Paris’s Parc des Princes, and Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz.

Tickets go on sale in three waves. The first wave opens in October 2024 and focuses on group‑stage matches. A second wave in January 2025 adds knockout‑stage tickets, and a final wave in March 2025 offers the remaining seats, including the final. Buying early gives you the best chance at lower prices and preferred seats. If you miss a wave, keep an eye on the official UEFA resale platform – it’s a safe way to snag tickets from other fans.

Teams, Key Players, and Storylines to Watch

Twenty‑four national teams have qualified, split into six groups of four. Traditional powerhouses like Germany, England, France, and the Netherlands return, but there are several dark horses. Spain’s young striker Paula Garrido and Italy’s midfield dynamo Martina Caruso have been highlighted as breakout talents in the qualifiers.

Watch for the England‑Spain rivalry – both squads are loaded with World Cup experience and will likely meet in the knockout rounds. Germany’s defensive solidity, led by veteran captain Lisa Krebs, promises tight matches, while the Netherlands rely on the speed of winger Sophie de Vries to stretch defenses.

Off the pitch, the tournament is a showcase for gender equality initiatives. UEFA has pledged to invest €150 million in women’s grassroots programmes across the host nations, and each match will feature local community events highlighting women’s sport.

Travel tips: Most host cities have excellent public transport links to the stadiums. Buying a city travel pass can save you money and make it easier to hop between matches. For fans wanting to soak up the atmosphere, the official fan zones in each city provide big screens, food stalls, and meet‑and‑greet sessions with players.

Stay tuned to the official Women’s Euro 2025 website for live scores, match highlights, and post‑match analysis. Social platforms like Twitter and Instagram use the #WomenEuro2025 hashtag – it’s a fast way to catch fan reactions and behind‑the‑scenes content.

With the tournament just months away, now is the perfect time to mark your calendar, grab tickets, and start learning the names of the players who will make history. Women’s Euro 2025 isn’t just another competition – it’s a celebration of skill, passion, and the growing power of women’s football across Europe.
