STORY: England and Spain soccer fans walked together in a peaceful, friendly fashion to Basel's St Jakob Park stadium on Sunday (July 27) to watch the Women's Euro 2025 final.

Sunday's final of the Women's Euros in Basel pitches the two best European teams of the current generation against each other, as a unified Spain side bristling with technique and intelligence takes on an equally talented England side that never gives up.

Thousands of England fans walked to St. Jakob Park followed by a smaller group of Spaniards playing the drums.

Both sides have overcome adversity on their way to the final, with Spain almost losing playmaker Aitana Bonmati to a pre-tournament meningitis scare, and Sarina Wiegman's England coming close to elimination twice in the knockout round, only for late heroics to see them through.

Competing in the final for the first time, the Spaniards are enjoying every moment as fans pack the stands at the Swiss stadiums and fill the town squares back home, watching the team's games on big screens.

A record 623,088 fans attended games through the end of the semi-finals, obliterating the previous total of 574,875 fans who watched the entire England 2022 tournament.
