Whatever the outcome of the World Cup final, football history will be made in Sydney, as it would be the first title in the competition for both teams. England go into the final as reigning European champions in front of a sell-out crowd.

England and Spain will face off in the final of the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Sydney this Sunday.

England star Lauren James returns after a two-match suspension. A big plus for the Lionesses, who will be guided to a second successive final of a major tournament by national coach Sarina Wiegman after Euro 2022.

Like England, Spain are also fighting for their first World Cup title.

The Spanish Football Federation is still in contention after 15 players protested against national coach Jorge Vilda last September. However, he is still in office.

The teammates of star player Alexia Putellas have been particularly impressive on the offensive so far and will try to carry their momentum into the sold-out Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Europe’s women’s teams are coming off a 16-year drought at the World Championships, which will definitely come to an end. The last time a European team won the crown of world football was Germany in 2007.

“Not a dream final” for Australian fans
On the ground, Forecasting correspondent Sam Ashoo commented, “Well, it wasn’t the final the locals had dreamed of, but there was still a lot of interest in the run-up to the showpiece event of women’s football.”

For England and Spain, this is uncharted territory.

Neither team has been at this stage of the competition before.

La Roja have struggled off the pitch, while the Lionesses will be looking to go one step further after winning the European Championship last summer.

80,000 fans will be in attendance at Stadium Australia.

In any case, they will witness football history. “
