Spain are the 2023 Women's World Cup champions after 1-0 win against England
For the first time, Spain has won the FIFA Women's World Cup, defeating England 1-0 in the 2023 final.
In a thrilling finale, Spain has emerged triumphant in the Women's World Cup, securing their first-ever championship title. Despite a spirited second-half performance by England, highlighted by goalkeeper Mary Earps' impressive penalty save, Spain's aggressive gameplay proved instrumental in securing their victory.
The decisive moment arrived in the 29th minute when Olga Carmona netted a crucial goal, sealing Spain's fate as the newly crowned World Cup winners. This accomplishment places Spain alongside the esteemed ranks of past champions, including the United States, Germany, Norway, and Japan.
Adding to their remarkable achievement, Spain has also completed a remarkable treble, having previously claimed victory in the Under-20 and U-18 World Cups last year. Aitana Bonmatí's exceptional performance throughout the tournament did not go unnoticed, as she was rightfully awarded the coveted Golden Ball for being the tournament's standout player. Her brilliance was evident, as Rory had previously highlighted her talents in his pre-Champions League final coverage back in June.
