It’s not just any Sunday—tonight, England’s Lionesses take on Spain in the Women’s Euro Final, and the excitement is off the charts.
Whether you’re in a packed pub, cheering from home, or soaking up the atmosphere in Switzerland, it feels like the entire country has paused to support the national team.
Royal Support Kicks Things Off
The Royal Family joined in the build-up earlier today with a spirited message on X (formerly Twitter).
They posted a fun video of the Buckingham Palace guards performing “It’s Coming Home” right outside the gates.
The caption simply read: “Let’s go girls!! Wishing the very best of luck to the Lionesses in the Women’s Euro Final this evening.”
Flags, Cardboard Cutouts, and Celebration Vibes
Across the UK and over in Basel, where the final is being played, fans are going all out.
Homes are draped with England flags, and those at the stadium have dressed head-to-toe in red and white.
Some have even brought along cardboard cutouts of the players, while banners declaring “Lionesses Roar to the Final” wave proudly in the crowd.
Celebs Add Their Voice to the Hype
It’s not just the royals showing their support.
The Spice Girls sent their love this morning, and even The Chase star Shaun Wallace—aka the “Dark Destroyer”—shared a heartfelt message:
“Let’s hope the Lionesses get the gift of a great performance and bring it home tonight! Make the most of every day—every day is a gift.
Have a fantastic Sunday and good luck to the Lionesses tonight.”
Eyes on Back-to-Back Titles
Tonight’s match kicks off at 5 PM, and the stakes are high.
England is chasing back-to-back European titles after beating Spain in the last tournament.
This time, though, Spain is hungry for revenge and comes in strong after a 2-1 win in their most recent clash on June 3.
Captain Leah Williamson Stays Grounded
England captain Leah Williamson knows what’s on the line.
In a pre-match statement, she said the team understands the gravity of the moment—but they’re not letting the pressure overwhelm them:
“We’re aware of what it would mean to the country. It means just as much to us.
We recognise the opportunity and will do everything we can to take it.”
The Road to the Final Wasn’t Easy
It’s been a wild ride for the Lionesses. After making it through a challenging group stage, they edged past Sweden in a tense quarter-final that ended with a dramatic penalty shootout.
Then came the semi-final against Italy, where they pulled off a stunning 2-1 comeback in extra time.
Stars from EastEnders Share Their Love
More good luck wishes came from the EastEnders cast.
Heather Pearce, who plays Eve Panesar-Unwin, said the team had already “inspired a nation—especially my three little girls.”
On behalf of the whole cast, she added, “We wish you all the luck on Sunday night.”
Prince William Heads to Basel for the Final
Prince William is also showing up in person tonight.
He’ll be cheering from the stands at St Jakob-Park Stadium in Switzerland.
Earlier, he posted his own good luck message:
“Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow. The nation is so proud you are through to the final after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on!”
Nerves and Hope Among Fans
Back at home, fans are bracing for a nail-biter. One supporter joked to Sky News, “I had hair before this tournament!”
But even with the nerves, the energy is overwhelmingly hopeful.
“Fingers crossed—we’re going to win,” he said with a smile.
