Italy has secured what could prove to be a pivotal opening victory in the Women’s European Championship by beating Belgium 1-0.

The second match on Thursday, July 3 in the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championship sees a couple of neighboring nations sharing the pitch at Stadion Wankdorf in Bern, Switzerland where Portugal takes on Spain.

Currently in red-hot form in the National Women's Soccer League with the San Diego Wave, the tricky French winger is one of the most electric players to watch as she glides across the pitch. She scored one goal at Women's Euro 2022 and helped France reach its first-ever semifinal. The 28-year-old will be hoping to do even better this time around.
