Defending Women’s Euro champions England play their final friendly against Jamaica
Defending champions England will play their final warm-up match ahead of the 2025 UEFA Women’s Euro against Jamaica this Sunday, June 29, at 1 PM (Brasília time). The friendly is seen as a key opportunity for Sarina Wiegman’s squad to fine-tune tactics before their group stage opener against France on July 5.
Title Holders Target Back-to-Back Glory
Although England were eliminated from the Women’s Nations League, the Lionesses remain one of the favorites to lift the European title again. The team will travel to Switzerland with a squad brimming with talent and experience, despite some key absences.
England’s Challenging Group D
England have been drawn into what many are calling the “Group of Death” at Euro 2025, alongside:
- France
- Netherlands
- Wales
Despite the high level of competition, England are tipped to advance confidently, thanks to Wiegman’s tactical prowess and the depth of the squad.
Key Changes to the Squad
The Lionesses will be without three major figures:
- Mary Earps – Retired from international football
- Millie Bright – Opted out of the tournament
- Fran Kirby – Also withdrew from contention
However, the team remains strong, led by standout names:
- Alessia Russo – Arsenal striker and potential Ballon d’Or 2025 contender
- Hannah Hampton – Set to replace Earps as starting goalkeeper, the Chelsea shot-stopper is ready for the spotlight at just 24 years old
