The nation is rightfully saluting another triumph for England Women following their successful defence of their European crown, a feat which has seen the Lionesses become the first national football team of England to win a trophy on foreign soil.

The England women's soccer team have returned home on Monday to a heroes' welcome following their Euro 2025 triumph, with government ministers hosting a reception to mark a victory hailed as an inspiration for young people across the nation.

The final was decided by a penalty shoot-out, with Chloe Kelly scoring the winning kick and retaining England's crown.
