These two opponents are set to become very familiar with one another over the next six months, but the most important meeting is now as Spain and Sweden match up in the 2023 Women’s World Cup semifinals.
Drawn into the same UEFA Nations League group and scheduled to play two more times before the calendar year comes to a close, they’ll not be looking past this enormous match as both teams look to earn their first Women’s World Cup title.
Spain have already achieved their best-ever Women’s World Cup finish but will be seeking more as one of the top teams in the world and boasting one of the most talented squads. Sweden have finished on the podium four times previously, reaching the 2003 Women’s World Cup final but falling to Germany.
Both teams managed to grind out results through this tournament, proving they are each capable of conjuring late magic. Sweden eliminated the tournament favourites USA in the Round of 16 on penalties, while Spain needed a 111t- minute winner to down the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
