A crowd of about 50,000-55,000 is expected, down significantly on the 87,192 at 2022’s final. But Wiegman and Williamson played down any concerns of a drop-off in support. “I don’t see it as a real negative,” Wiegman said. “It’s really positive that over the next two windows we play at Wembley twice, with over 100,000 fans coming to the stadium. Yes, of course, Wembley can have more people there. But we’re thinking big.”

Hello and welcome to this women’s international friendly live blog. England play Germany at Wembley in a repeat of the EURO 2022 final.

In the 818 days since the Lionesses won the Euros, Sarina Wiegman’s side reached a World Cup final, missed out on Olympic qualification by way of Team GB and initially struggled in their EURO 2025 Qualifiers.

Meanwhile, Germany crashed out of the 2023 World Cup during the group stages, appointed a new manager in Christian Wück and topped their group on the road to EURO 2025.

This friendly will be a chance for both teams to see where they’re at as they prepare for next summer. Email me to have your say.
