- England 1-1 Sweden
- Russo 24; Rolfö 64
The start of England’s defence of their European title got off to a frustrating start in front of 63,248 at Wembley, with Sarina Wiegman’s side held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Sweden.
Drawn in the Euro 2025 qualifying ‘Group of Death’ with the World Cup bronze medallists, Euro 2022 semi-finalists France and the only team from pot four to have qualified for the 2023 World Cup, the Republic of Ireland, England needed a strong start to the campaign to retain their European title.
