Spain and England will lock horns in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 final at the Stadium Australia (also known as Sydney Olympic Stadium) in Sydney on Sunday (August 20).

Salma Paralluelo and Olga Carmona late strikes sealed Spain's 2-1 win against Sweden in the first semifinal on August 15, while goals from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo helped England see off hosts Australia in the second semifinal.

Now, the two sides will look to win their first-ever Women's World Cup title in their first-ever final appearance as both sides have overcome injury issues to reach so far in the tournament. Sarina Wiegman's England will look to do Euro and World Cup double.

Spain Route To Final

Spain came out of Group C as runners up, starting with a pair of comfortable wins as they beat Costa Rica 3-0 and Zambia 5-0 before suffering a 4-0 defeat by Japan in a game that decided who topped the group.

Jorge Vilda's side shrugged off that setback to dismantle Switzerland 5-1 in the Round of 16 before Salma Paralluelo scored an extra-time winner to see off the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarter-finals after the Dutch side had scored an added-time equaliser.

In the semi-finals, Spain edged Sweden after substitute Paralluelo's goal prompted a flurry of action in the final 10 minutes which saw Spain take the lead only to be levelled a few minutes later, but Carmona scored the winner in the closing stages to seal the final berth.

England Route To Final

The Lionesses came through Group D with a perfect record, posting 1-0 wins over Haiti and Denmark before overpowering China PR 6-1 following a stunning performance from Lauren James.

In the Round-of-16 tie against Nigeria, though, James was sent off late on in normal time for stamping on Michelle Alozie. England saw out extra time to draw 0-0 before prevailing 4-2 in a penalty shootout, with Chloe Kelly emphatically scoring the clinching spot-kick.

England came from behind to edge out Colombia 2-1 in the quarter-finals before Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo, the goalscorers in the last eight, also struck in a thrilling 3-1 win over co-hosts Australia to maintain Wiegman's 100 per cent record of reaching major tournament finals.
