Lionesses are targeting successive European glory
The Lionesses begin the defence of their European Championship crown with a huge clash against France tonight.
Sarina Wiegman’s side warmed up for their tournament opener by thumping Jamaica 7-0 in an international friendly last week, with Ella Toone netting a brace at the King Power Stadium.
Though they can expect a much sterner test against a France side aiming to improve on their 2022 showing when they were beaten by Germany in the semi-final.
It’s just over a year since the two teams last met as they traded 2-1 victories in the space of four days in qualification for this tournament which is being held in Switzerland.
Both nations are among the favourites to lift the trophy at the end of the month, though it will be interesting to see how they respond to Spain’s emphatic 5-0 win over Portugal a couple of nights ago.
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch this one unfold...
