Germany, the eight-time European champion, only nearly reached the final through sheer dogged determination.

Following the semi-finals exit at women's Euro 2025, the Germany national team have a lot to look forward to in the future, including the 2027 World Cup. Germany is also planning to bid to host Euro 2029 and the German Football Federation (DFB) can take a lot of momentum from the performance in Switzerland.

A courageous German performance in their 1-0 Women's Euro semi-final defeat by world champions Spain means they leave Switzerland with heads high, but the once-dominant team need to find a cutting attacking edge to keep up with the best.

Spain remain the clear favourite to win Euro 2025, but Germany, the most successful team in the history of the competition, are no easy foe.
