Italy vs. Spain: Previous Meetings & Stats
Italy and Spain first met during the 2013/14 World Cup qualifiers, followed by encounters in the Cyprus Cup, international friendlies, the Women’s Nations League, and now the Women’s EURO 2025. Out of their seven meetings, Spain have won three, while Italy have managed just one victory — which came in 2023.
Italy started their Women’s EURO 2025 campaign well, with a win over Belgium and a draw against Portugal. However, Soncin’s side still need at least a point against Spain to secure a spot in the knockout stage. If they lose, their fate will depend on the result of the Portugal vs. Belgium match. Spain are through to the knock outs with two confident wins (5-0 and 6-2).
